Editing Notes:
File is a combination of two files.  
Most is copied from the official etree SHNs in circ. for this show.
These SHNs do not match etree.  
They were made from the same Tahoespearit CDR. 
However this set also includes the Acoustic Set.
Seed supplied by Tahoespearit.
Extraction by Matt Ziegler (matt@purplesparkle.com).

Source Notes: * First time played

Early set I:
This was their first perfomance in two months and the first time they played 
Everyone Deserves Music.  The jamming into the next song is rare, even though 
they're a hip-hop jam band.  The keyboard transition between Do Ya Love and 
Sometimes is a great example of why we think Kevin Choice is so talented.  
There's also a couple of minutes of really inspired jams in RBAR that sound 
great in the headphones.  This set is worth an A.

Electric set II:
An average set, w/sound problems, and a general roughness.  Kevin shines 
throughout, however, delivering on some amazing jams where he twinkles 
the ivorys like a veteran.

Sound:  C-
Show:   B+

Flaws:
A very well mixed sbd, with all the instruments clearly represented,
but the sound crew had some problems and we're left with these flaws:

d2 t1   Sound levels increase @ 1:36
d2 t3   Sound levels drop @ 0:30
d2 t6   1 sec of static @ 11:43
d2 t9   subsecond static @ 4:47

d3 t4   subsecond static @ 4:57
d3 t5   diginoise during first 1:50
d3 t6   low level diginoise @ 0:50
d3 t8   diginoise throughout
d3 t9   diginoise throughout
d3 t10  diginoise from 0:50 on
d3 t11  diginoise @ 5:28
d3 t12  diginoise throughout
 
d4 t1   diginoise from 1:24 on
