There’s a whole lot of people that would like to hear that recording you’re referring to; not sure if I’m missing or looking in wrong place for the DL/stream?

The most underrated show of the year IMO. The house that Prince built.

My buddy taped this show and I don't see it on the archive; although the mics are quite clean. Time to give him a jingle and spread this nasty show. EDIT: Ernie's House(taper) outside of Richmond got flooded in 2019 where he lost 2 boxes of DATs(inc. this show and believe it or not, the 1st ever Tractorbeam show). He also lost around 500 tapes, and killer taping equipment, pre-amps, cables, D-10, R44 and much, much more)

  • my copies of this show are on 2 X 90m XLiiS where the left channel only peaks at -7db *

Anyone else think this is one of the best open room halls in the midwest? or even the States?

Confidence for eons that summer/fall. Love the opening dys 'Bazaar' ending from Urbana the night previous...and it melts nicely into Jigsaw. The 1st set ending 'Vassillios ~> Spacebirdmatingcall' Holy shit does Barber takes off here in Vassillios like a madman. These 2 tunes were monster vehicles in '07 and this LONG combo automatically spreads joy. 44 minutes of heaven. Man, what a set. Set 2 might look somewhat trivial, stale, boring or predictable but the playing is top notch....they just can't help it. "Lai" jam into a good "Basis" is the highlight here. Mags master-classes the hell out of this song a la Stubbs Fall 2009...you know, THAT BASIS!!! The Huffer is funny, book-ending the "Abyss" But the rules are quite clear; never spoil a ''Nughuffa'' to another. ''Sven'' encore is very good, don't skip.

peace & nugs, pace

ps edit - the crowd source of this show will be in circulation in November (2022)  in-hat DPA 4022's [balcony stage right]. I thought he was given a patch to the SBD but no, it's a crowd source. 
honestly, the sub-bass is shit but we need this great show.  stay tuned. It will be transferred from the DATS and uploaded to the ArchiveDOTorg around the Holidays 2022.
