Notes:
-Harborcoat is dedicated to MS's father, who recieved a red velvet coat for his high school graduation
-MS states that he and PB always havea good time in Buffalo. I was confused about the Amherst/Buffalo thing, as I had previously listed this show as Buffalo.  After a little research, I found that the two cities are very close.
-recording is quite left-channel dominant
-Many of the new songs are introduced as such
-Wild Thing is introduced as a gospel song dating back to the 1600's
-side note: until I listened to this show on 26 Feb, 2019 (and I've heard 'Hang On Sloopy', many many times before this date, I thought it was 'Hang On Snoopy',  But I looked it up, and learned something today.
