The Wallflowers were originally a roots rock band formed in Los Angeles by Dylan and guitarist Tobi Miller. It has undergone several personnel changes, but has remained centered on Dylan.

**************************
Tapers notes: When I was a teenager, The Wallflowers and Counting Crows were "the" bands for me, I was obssessed some might say. I was lucky enough to see Counting Crows about 20 years ago, and when I saw this show pop up I got excited and immediately booked a hotel for that weekend. My musicals tastes have expanded quite a bit since being a teen, but The Wallflowers still hold up in my opinion, they have so many quality songs. You could tell a lot of people were there for the hits, as after One Headlight about 25% of the crowd left, which was bizzare to me. To each their own I guess, I enjoyed their entire set, and they did the 2 Tom Petty covers justice. Sound here is average to above average I would say, as always listen to the sample and judge for yourself.

**************************
Tapers notes: This was a difficult recording to master. To begin with, I had a brain fart and forgot my cables, I almost always double (sometimes triple) check to make sure I have everything before a show, but forgot before this one. So, I was already off to a bad start, but thankfully Josie had an extra cable for her guitar I was able to borrow. So, the first 13 tracks of the first set are combined SBD/AUD. But, the cable Josie was using during this show was causing issues throughout the first set (as you'll hear on the recording), so she had to use her backup (the one I was using), and the rest of the way is AUD only. There is a fade out after Leaving on a Jet Plane, and a fade in to Tennessee Whiskey, as I cut out Josie trying to figure out the audio issues. So, a mixed bag in terms of quality, but the show is complete, warts and all. Lesson learned I guess, never assume I have my bag together and always double check.
