Comment

* = from about 6:30 to 7:15 in this song the horns paraded (off mic) through the crowd , so there was a significant volume drop in the PA. The FOB picks it up pretty well, but it is lower than the rest of the recording.

A great night in the Blues Tent at the Harvest Jazz and Blues festival in Fredericton, NB. Levon was a substitute for Gregg Allman, after Allman cancelled late in the summer due to illness. The band played very well, and the crowd was mostly respectful and knowledgable of the music. A few talkers can be heard here and there as the recording was done FOB, but the sound is very clear and represents the night well. Levon's voice wasn't in great shape, although he gave it his all on Ophelia, The Weight and chipped in vocals on a few others.
