I got this tape from Dan Tepper (Solar sound engineer)
so I doubt that there is a soundboard or better copy out
there. The source may be analog given the date. I'm not
sure when Dan started taping digitally. This was also
the first time I saw Solar Circus.

Four original songs is good for this time period. When they
played the typical "Dead Night" at a bar there was a lot of
pressure form the place to play Dead covers and not originals.
Of course the Solar fans wanted more originals as well as the
Dead covers. Juggling Suns was a prief spacy jam usually played 
after Fortune Teller (and appearing on the first album that way).
This type of jamming would be expanded to include lengthy jams
in Obsession and Twilight Dance. Juggling Suns was also the name 
of that first album and eventually the name of the new group 
formed when Solar broke up at the end of 1997.
