Media SHN   3 discs
Notes FM Hanno/Uli - Listenable but "hissy" off-air FM recording. The music this night is consistenty average. However, the banter in the first set is entertaining. Apparently someone up front was doing something that elicited responses after almost every song. Here are a few I transcribed: Phil (before Mexicali Blues): "This here's kind of a "get-down" song." Jery:"Relax man, we don't respond to that shit".
Bob:"Plus ytou'll like this one" (followed by Big Railroad Blues). Jerry: "Shout encouragement..Relax man, we'll get around to all that stuff".
Phil:"We have electricity on our side."
Jerry:"We can rage louder...where were we?" -> El Paso
Bobby:"Hey we gotta a couple of live ones up here in front...meaningful interaction of course the staple of life...I only wish everyone had microphones"
Phil:"It all sounds the same to us up here man. You guys keep rapping and won't be able to talk tomorrow..Later..Later"
