a pretty good sounding recording from when the touring behind nomads*indians*saints was beginning to wind down. it is an acoustic duo show with sara lee on bass and barbara marino guesting on the saxophone, one of the last shows before a period of experimentation began with differing band lineups including simone simonton and rachel lee, which then lead up to the break before the recording of "rites of passage". to provide some additional context, this series of shows in april of 1991 came on the heels of the first gulf war. the recording includes a portion of the sound check, which has amy singing a bit of "angel from montgomery" as well as working on an early version of "jonas and ezekial" that features some different lyrics than those that would end up in official release. it also includes "no way to treat a friend", the infamous "freebird/stairway to heaven/sweet home alabama" medley, "american tune", and michael lorant and gerard mchugh guesting on "uncle john's band".
