Notes:
-MS declares his dislike for the new stage at the venue, "it makes too much noise", thrush story, and RA Miller before Old Man Kensey. As he rambles on he finally says "What?", as if responding to someone prompting him to get on ith it. MS strarts his next intro (to Old Man Kensey) with "I'll try again"...He goes on to describe a picture of Howard Finster with Kensey in the background.
-MS ad-libs a bit of 1,000,000
-MS before Begin The Begin "Many people happen to think that there are words within a song that carry a whole lot of meaning. But you're wrong. Leaning into the microphone with his usual mix of passion and innocence...don't believe everything you read".
Grade: A
-Mildly distant, but still a very good recording. Probably taped by same guy as St Louis the next night, ith St Louis being slightly better, possibly due to the venues.
