Show Notes: Solo show; mic placed on a table about four feet from the hanging speaker on the left side of the stage.

Tonight's highlights - the first known performance of "Hard To Remember"; a longer set than usual due to the absence of the opening act (who apparently backed out at the last minute). Side note: David was unhappy with tonight's performance, mentioning it during the encore break and then in shows following this one.

Tracks 1-4 and 15-23 are 12 string acoustic; 6-9 and 27-28 are electric; 10-12 and 25-26 are keyboard; 13-14 are ukelele.

Soundwise, I left the EQ alone; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels. I missed the first few seconds of "Nashville" at the beginning of the set - no vocals were lost however. Due to a MD change, "Ordinary Life" is incomplete (missing the middle section). There were some technical problems during the set, so any problems you hear may be indicative of the sound at the show and not necessarily the tape - an example would be the distortion in "Only A Dream" which came from the PA speakers, not the recording.

This show will be featured on the mineandyours.com Live Show Database where it will be updates with any new info as it becomes available: http://www.mineandyours.com/livedatabase/2005-07-27_ms957.htm
