Notes:
From pjh analog cassettes Qlty: A-

Increased gain by 2.0 on 3 master
wav files in Samplitude. The recording
originally was recorded low. I think
this gain increase helped the recording
come alive.

It was a cold night. Had an hour drive
to get there the roads were snow packed.
Mostly locals there. Matt Guitar Murphy (MGM)
band is very full sounding and has a horn
section with them. This was almost 3 full
50-minute cassettes. It was recorded on
a metal tape, so highs are usually more
pronounced. There is some distortion, but
it is very seldom mostly with low bass
and horn notes.

I guessed on some of the songs, but think
most of the set list is correct. What a
set list it is. Matt Guitar Murghy claim
to fame was playing with the blues brothers.
Matt is a very good guitar player and has
a good blues voice, his band smokes. Some
crowd noise mostly on quieter sounding
passages. Some cuts into tunes. Hard to
record due to the small size of the bar.
