Show Notes:  Solo show; mic and recorder on a table pointed at the left side speaker.

Tonight's highlights: some amusing Mardi Gras Tuesday chatter and anecdotes about a show in Louisville; a rare early performance of "Oneplusone" (not often played solo); I get an unexpected shoutout prior to "Telephone"; an INCREDIBLE "Standing Here In Front Of Me" with a bit of vocal effect; the bass leaking from the other side of the wall creates a "Nashville Dance Remix".  This was an interesting time to see David live as he was still playing WHEREVER YOU ARE material (before its release) as well as INDIANA material (which was premiered around this time).

Unfortunately, there are two dropouts during "Standing Here In Front Of Me" during the guitar outro.  The very end of "Beauty" is also missing due to a MD switch.  The last four songs were performed unplugged on the floor, so I've boosted the levels heavily on those to make them audible.

Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.

Show Notes:  Solo show; recorded right in front of the stage PA cabinet.  This show features a lot of then-unreleased tracks, including three from WHEREVER YOU ARE, and one of the first performances of "Ordinary Life".  David is very talkative during this set, joking around and in a fine mood.  The last three songs as usual were performed "unplugged" on the main floor - these did not come out as well but I have included them here as they are still listenable.  Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.

TOTAL TIME - 74:19

The band: DM (vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards); David Henry (cello, mandolin etc); Brad Jones (upright bass); Jason Lehning (keyboards); Marc Pisapia (drums)

Show Notes:  Band show; recorded from the first row and the sound is a bit muddy (the late show this night has superior sound).  Indiana had just been completed (although it was not to be released for another five months) so the album is performed in its entirety, including the B-side "Chutes And Ladders".  Lots of between-song banter during this show - David and band are in a fine joking mood.  Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.

Show Notes:  Band show; recorded from the middle left side of the floor.  This show sounds quite a bit better than the one taped earlier that night.  Indiana had just been completed (although it was not to be released for another five months) so the album is performed in its entirety, including the B-side "Chutes And Ladders".  "Human Nature" is performed with the full band, as opposed to the early show where David played it with Jason Lehning.  Lots of hilarious between-song banter during this show - David and band are in a fine joking mood.  Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.
