TOTAL TIME - 60:10

Show Notes:  Unique solo/band show; recorded from an elevated section directly across from the center of the stage.

David played half of the show solo, and was joined for the other half by Ethan Eubanks on drums and Jeff Hill on bass.  The Wherever You Are EP was played in order in its entirety.  A short set with "a long way to go and a short time to get there".  Julia Darling opened for David on this date.  This was the only band show on the tour, aside from the opening night with the Nashville band.

Tonight's highlights - "Indiana" is stopped twice due to a very distracted David; a very rare band performance of "Make It Right"; Dylan's "Just Like A Woman" is played on the guitar (it was played on the ukelele at several shows on this leg of the tour).  Band reappears at the end of the show for a smokin' "Girl On The Roof".

Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.

TOTAL TIME (without the edits) - 110:16

Show Notes:  Solo show; mic placed on a table about four feet from the hanging speaker on the left side of the stage.

Tonight's highlights - the first known performance of "Hard To Remember"; a longer set than usual due to the absence of the opening act (who apparently backed out at the last minute).  Side note: David was unhappy with tonight's performance, mentioning it during the encore break and then in shows following this one.

Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.  I missed the first few seconds of "Nashville" at the beginning of the set - no vocals were lost however.  Due to a MD change, "Ordinary Life" is incomplete (missing the middle section).  There were some technical problems during the set, so any problems you hear may be indicative of the sound at the show and not necessarily the tape - an example would be the distortion in "Only A Dream" which came from the PA speakers, not the recording.

IMPORTANT NOTE - "Hard To Remember" has been omitted from this upload at David's request.  The show can be uploaded in its complete form once this track is released.  Until then, I've left the chatter that preceded it as a placeholder (track 25).

TOTAL TIME (without the edits) - 116:50

Show Notes:  Solo show; mic placed about two feet from David, who played without amplification.

David's first house concert, staged by Linda and Bob Utter.  The show is played in two sets ("Indiana" starts the second set).  David played acoustic 12-string for the whole show.

Tonight's highlights - the first known performance of "The Trouble With Henry"; "Cuba" and "Flamin' Angel" played for the first time since 2002-2003; J. Oscar Bittinger leads the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to David; a bit of "Daydream Believer" is played while I am changing tapes in the videocamera.  All in all a very well rounded set where each album is represented with every group of four songs (intentional) - until the requests start with "Bucket Of Girls" (played on guitar as opposed to piano, as is "How Much").

Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.

IMPORTANT NOTE - "The Trouble With Henry" and "Cuba" have been omitted from this upload at David's request.  The show can be uploaded in its complete form once those tracks are released.  Until then, I've left the chatter that preceded them as placeholders (tracks 27-28).

17 New Mexico 4:31

TOTAL TIME - 69:25

Show Notes: solo show; recorded from the balcony, mics pointed at hanging speakers.  "New Mexico" was performed unamplified as a singalong so the level on that song is fairly low.

Tonight's highlights: David gets "Indiana" wrong and in turn skips the breakdown and last verse and chorus; "Comfort" is played in a new arrangement (capo at the second fret); there is some amusing chatter about playing seated versus standing; an extended piano set with a singalong during "God Only Knows"; David nearly takes a tumble when balancing himself on the cushions in front of the stage during "New Mexico".

There are a few artifacts on this recording - an occasional pop, notable during "Comfort", "Beauty" and "Mine And Yours".  These are on the master as well.  I made no attempts to correct them.

Tracks 1-5 and 13-16 are electric; 6-7 are 12 string acoustic; 8-11 are piano; 12 and 17 are ukelele. 

Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed an 8db hard limiting boost in CoolEdit due to low levels.

Show Notes: solo show; recorded from the back wall, mics pointed towards the right side stage speaker.

Tonight's highlights: commentary on playing "wide" rooms instead of "deep"; the similarities between "While The World Is Sleeping" and the theme from The Simpsons (and then some anecdotes about The Simpsons dubbed in various languages); a rarely performed "The Book Of Love" on ukelele; David asks for some Phoenixville history and we learn that portions of The Blob were filmed here; David encourages crowd violence over two individuals who have different requests; "Walkin' After Midnight" as the final encore is a huge surprise (someone requested some "Nashville shit").

Tracks 1-5 and 11-16 are electric; 6-8 and 18-19 are 12 string acoustic; 9-10 are ukelele. 

Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a 7db hard limiting boost in CoolEdit due to low levels.
