Nick Gravenites   : vocals, acoustic guitar
John Cipollina    : guitar
Some tracks feature special guest Norton Buffalo on harmonica

-This short sweet show is the only show I am aware of by Gravenites and Cipollina that is acoustic based.

-There is very small spaces (about 1/2 a second) of silence between tracks. This is not the fault of TAO or bad burning.
It was on the source cassette used for this show, well before the onset of CDRs. I think these maybe DAT indexes,
or perhaps someone back in time edited the show before circulation. We may never know the answer, but really the problem
is very insignifiant.. you might not even notice it.

-Special thanks to John Chapman for the source CDR!

-Remember to share, trade, and enjoy...and NEVER FOR SALE!

  Seems to be a Gravenites Cipollina band with Terry Dolan and David Hayes from Terry & The Pirates sitting in.
  The line-up was said here is the one given when the show entered circulation. I have no reason to doubt it as
  Cipollina bands sometimes did mix it up.

  I did no EQ'ing or editing on this recording and as always, this is your pleasure and for trade only and NOT FOR SALE!

  Cipollina fans might want to check out an online vine group that for his material with a zest of using the
  best known sources. This site is found at groups.msn.com/cipquick

  A big thank you to Rosannah for the show and the source disc used for this FLAC!

This was one of the first Thunder & Lightning shows at the Chi Chi Club.
Quite possibly the first. Thunder & Lightning had a long, fruitful run of
memorable shows at the Chi Chi Club over the next few years.
