With Charlie Sexton on guitar


Spectacular venue.  I recorded one of my crowning achievement at the Mountain Winery almost exactly 8 years ago. Treat yourself and go there someday. Good setlist with some crazy things thrown in. Surrender To The Rhythm! EC finally plays a Rusty song after the Rusty story. Track 11 and 12 are the B and A side of a mythical old single that EC tells of finding in a record shop (None that is true. Both actually unrecorded EC compositions). A weird mid set I Want You (sadly) caused two Boy Named If songs getting booted from the setlist. Last show of the tour. Excellent sound. Perhaps the best sounding of the 5 shows I recorded. What a great band. Samples below.


24bit 48K recording. If you still burn to CD, it's pretty easy to convert the files to CD specs. Most burning programs do it internally. If burning, divide the discs after I Want You. If not, the show will play seamless.
