Recorded by Mr.BillsArchives with Marc Sounds microphones into a Zoom H4N from the 8th row, right hand side in front of right speaker stack.

I adjusted levels, created tracks and made a few minor tweaks (no EQ) in Bias Peak on an iMac. Converted to FLAC level 6 and sbe corrected using xAct.

Technical stuff aside, this was a jaw-dropping show from a brilliant band; in fact, one of the best I have been to by anybody in years. They played the entire new CD, "Dream Attic," from start to finish, climaxing with stunning renditions of "Sidney Wells" and "If Love Whispers Your Name." And that was just the first set! Then the 11-minute version of "You Can't Win" was so far off the charts that the house is probably still ringing from it. Even "Al Bowlly" (as my wife said, "Doesn't he get tired of playing this song?) had new life breathed into it from a beautiful arrangement. I've seen RT literally dozens of times and it's hard to believe that he just keeps getting better, considering that even 40 years ago his playing was mind-blowing.

If these guys come through your town you MUST go, and drag all your friends, especially the ones who say, "Richard who?"
