Notes
*Tonite was guitarist Jake Van Noy's birthday!
*Tonite was the 1st nite of the band's great April run which was partially 
featured on the infamous free Balance Promo Disk of the band
*Tonite was a 1st for Black Cow (Steeley Dan), Hesitation (The Balance), 
Sledgehammer (Peter Gabriel)
*The abrupt fade-out of disk 1 during First Tube was an edit to cover the 
fact that the band blew a power circuit running the PA system and the DAT 
tube was abruptly cut off.  Efficiently back up and running in about 2 
minutes......
*Also, tonite was the first nite the band was running through their new 
SoundCraft mixing console, making SBD tapes a little more tasty than in the 
past!
