Royal Garden Blues was also played, may have been recorded, but was not available on my source as it was limited to a 90 minute cassette.

if burning to CD, a good place to split up the tracks is 1-7 on disc 1, 8-14 on disc 2.

An intimate recording from a small venue with excellent acoustics.  The acoustics are so good, in fact, that you can occasionally hear the sound of the taper moving or the mics rubbing on something, especially during the quieter, solo banjo material.  Still, an excellent recording of the band working on some then-unreleased material from Tales From The Acoustic Planet.

Enjoy!

A terrific recording of an excellent performance in a middle school auditorium.  Broughal Middle School was known for its architecture and 1300 seat auditorium with excellent acoustics, which this recording captures.  The building was torn down in 2009.  https://memories.lehigh.edu/node/199.

The last few songs were performed unplugged.  Mario Grigerov opened.

Enjoy!
