Tapers Notes:

What a fun and great show. My first time seeing them, and hopefully not the last.
The house was half full, and the crowd was into them. Hopefully this gig was enough to
attract more performing arts to this part of NH!  It's also nice to have something
near my backyard for once instead of having to travel 60+ minutes in any direction to
get to a gig.

The sound was also very nice from my location in between the speaker stacks.
No complaints at all there. My battery box starting acting up with some sort of
loose connection issue before the show and I tried to work it out but could not identify
where it was. The same issue rears it's ugly head during "Same Thing" a little bit.
You can hear some scratchiness as a result, but it's by no means overwhelming.

I was hoping for more Farrenheight songs too, but was pleased we got Talk Dirty at least.
Although raised with Farrenheight in the 80's, regrettably I never did get a chance to see
them live. They have some great songs.

For the encore song You Never Can Tell, the band was jammin' and towards the end, David Hull
tripped over a cord and fell onto his bass amp stack, knocking it over. No damage to either him
or the equipment, but it was a sort of scary moment for everyone.  He was smiling though.

I managed to ask the sound guy to give me James' set list that was prominently perched in
his harmonica case. I have included a scan of that actual set list in PDF format for your enjoyment.  
I used this setlist to produce the track listing above. Note how the encore is missing from the list.

The only tweaks performed during mastering in CEP 2.1 using the DirectX Plugin iZotope Ozone 4 was a
constant volume adjustment boost. No EQ or any other effects were added.

I want to thank Lee M. also for sitting with me and being a good sport for the whole show!

Artwork:

No. But a PDF scan of James' set list is included in this release.
