Another one of my master recordings for your amusement.

Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with Joe's material to take a reasonable guess at all the song titles.
If someone wants to post the complete setlist I would appreciate it.

Recording info: Core Sound HEBS (DPA 4061s)Mounted on 15' stand at sound desk->Sony TCD D100
Sound man was positioned about 40' back dead center of the stage. He was nice enough to make room for my gear and alert me when the sets were starting so I could start the tape. If only every show could be so easy.

Transfer: Tascam DA302->Coax->Soundblaster Audigy->Sound Forge 8->CD Architect.

Very nice sound, well mixed and with the mics suspended 15' up the crowd noise sounds more natural, not overwhelming.
Joe's first visit to this very small city in south-central Illinois and the band was in top form.

Enjoy!

I happen to have a copy of this recording, and I will say it was done very well. Considering how Joe has jumped into the national spotlight, we (Decatur Magazine & I) were very fortunate to bring Joe to Decatur for everyone to enjoy for free. What we paid him back then, wouldn't even touch what he asks for now, considering his ticket prices now average around $68/person. He is truly one of the top guitarists in the world.
