As an old( 43) deadhead, my life's music is on cassette. Still listen to them everyday in my car. It's still the best way to listen to dead shows as an entire 2nd set fits perfectly on one cassette. With no track breaks. Perfect. Shoulda called myself XL290!

Rick A.:

The Kathy McCarty song was used in the film Before Sunrise. I guess it's an Austin connection. I saw her on the tour for this album at Brownies, a now defunct venue on Avenue A in the East Village. It was a great show. She had a full band and performed the album almost exclusively. The single version of that song is a bit better than the album version. It might make a good Single File selection.
