These recordings are not perfect. There are dropouts, songs that fade out,
and even some minor ticking and hiss. Disc 6 may be the same music as is on Disc 5.

James Booker played at the Toulouse Theatre literally every weekend from 1979-1981 as he was pre and post show entertainment for the New Orleans production of "One Mo Time". These are all audience recordings recorded over the course of many shows from 1979 and nothing from the Toulouse Theatre has ever been officially released. The reason there are no setlists is that Booker played medleys that are virtually impossible to categorize.
