mgoldey NOTES:  
--Thanks to John Adams for the DAT
--Sam Bush on violin and mandolin for entire show (but not all the time).
--This was the last night of the Listen Up Town Concert Series and everyone had a blast, even when the wind and rain started. 
--The sound quality is excellent, and other than a few loud electronic burps (softened for your listening pleasure).
--The performance seems to be begin with Bruce Hornsby's "The Changes" played over the PA, which the Flecktones start to play over and then take over, seamlessly, transforming the melody into Vix 9 after the MC's announcements.  
--"Tell It To the Gov'Nor" cuts when the DAT ran out.  Oh well.

Enjoy!

vanillag NOTES (4/21/2022):  
--HUGE thanks to John Adams for recording & Mark Goldey for the transfer & share of this tasty gem!!  
--During the "KBCO intro", the KBCO DJ intro'ing them clearly says, "...& I cannot think of a better way to wrap up the 1994 series than with these guys...".  But also, before "Cheeseballs In Cowtown", Béla says it's a tune from their current album "Tales From the Acoustic Planet" & that was indeed released in 1995, so I'm willing to bet the KBCO DJ simply made a mistake in his intro.  Any thoughts??  
--added the band members info
--fixed some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--added the ffp fingerprints to the text file
--added pictures of the venue
