I hadn't listened to this in years and years. I had forgotten what an amazing show this was. Steve solo for just over 2 hours. It's a Steve Earle master class.
He starts off with a great story and then into the songs. Quite the song selection for this night too. So many great tunes. He waxes poetic more than a few times giving context to many of the songs. I believe that this might be the first public performance of John Walker's Blues. Steve intros it by talking about how he wasn't going to play it.
Amazingly quite and respectful crowd. I was about 10 feet back from the front this night. You can barely hear anyone but Steve during his songs. In-between songs the cheers were deafening. I took some extra time to really crank down the dbs in those areas to make this a much more enjoyable listen. Really proud of this capture. Enjoy.
