The band: DM (vocals, acoustic guitar); WhyNot Jansveld (bass, backing vocals); Ethan Eubanks (drums, backing vocals)

Show Notes:  Band show with incredible sound; recorded from the right side with mics pointed at the PA - this is a typical electric set from this leg of the Indiana tour with some very peculiar events.  Two strings are broken tonight, and the show ends with David's guitar crashing to the ground, hitting something which sends sparks from the side of the stage and forces all of the stage lights to go out.  Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of balancing in CoolEdit due to uneven levels.

The band: DM (vocals, acoustic guitar); WhyNot Jansveld (bass, backing vocals); Ethan Eubanks (drums, backing vocals)

Show Notes:  Band show with decent sound; a bit of a typical, albeit abbreviated, Indiana-era set with no solo section.  David's a little late getting to the guitar at the beginning of "Mine And Yours"; "Elodie" has a bit of an extended intro due to guitar re-tuning; "Figure Of Eight" has an acoustic intro as does "Robert Bradley's Postcard".  "World Of A King" has an amusing intro as well - WhyNot shakes a tambourine which causes David to crack up, causing Ethan to miss his drum intro.  Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.

Show Notes:  Solo show; and a GREAT one at that, including a very rare performance of "Apart From You".  "Elodie" is performed a bit differently than usual in the beginning - instead of the usual rhythmic opening, he plays it riffy like the recorded version.  "Nashville" is preceded by some hilarious banter.  "Maybe I'm Amazed" is aborted and then restarted in a different key.  The last two songs were performed "unplugged" on the main floor - these did not come out as well (they're quiet) but I have included them here as they are still listenable - the audience does a fine job providing backing vocals on both.  Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.

Show Notes:  Solo show opening for Chris Stamey; recorded slightly right of center near the front.  The last show of the Indiana jaunt, David is admittedly a bit tired during this short set.  One treat is the seldom-played "No One Left To Blame", otherwise the set is a bit what you'd expect from a solo performance.  The crowd can be a little loud at times, but not during the whole set - there is also some amusing chatter regarding Pittsburgh and "booty".  Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.
