One of the best performances of the year. The quality of the recording is superb, and well worth seeking the show out for your collection. The packaging and bonus tracks are another matter. The bonus tracks are unique songs for their respective shows, but the recording quality suffers. The front cover cartoon is well done, and would have been a nice insert... but it doesn't work at all for an appealing CD cover. The insert photo, on the other hand, would have made an incredible cover. The insert info could normally be commended in the fact that each song is reviewed and commented on... but with closer inspection, one finds that the info was simply copied from the Michael Smith review at Boblinks, without a credit. The back information for Red Bluff is correct, (as it was copied and pasted directly from Boblinks) but there are two mistakes in the bonus tracks... which shows that the manufacturer didn't proofread the only part that they actually wrote near well enough. Accidentally Like A Martyr is incorrectly listed on the package as Things Have Changed, and Lawyers, Guns, And Money is misspelled. The discs themselves are plain, and a waste of silk-screening. There is a CD-r project of the Red Bluff show that circulated under the same name... so not even that is original. With all these problems, avoid this one, and seek out I Ain't No Judas. |
This concert was held at the Pauline Davis Pavilion. It is a "livestock arena"... a small barn-like structure with a dirt floor in front of the stage, and bleachers in the back This show is the first acoustic version of Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35, (not counting the MTV Unplugged version in New York City on November 18, 1994). |
