Bill Graves Notes:  
--Vocals seem slow and distorted, but the music does not.
--Feels like there was a tape flip after Down the Road.
--This show is part of The Furthur Project:  https://thefurthurproject.wordpress.com/

vg NOTES (2025-12-10):  
--t06 ("Down the Road") thankfully cuts directly after the tune ends
--t07 is 8 seconds of nothing (like the stuff that was on the tape leftover from the cassette flip or something)
--t08 ("Fire On the Mountain") cuts in near the beginning of the tune, well before the 1st verse starts
--the cuts & the speed issues make one assume that this source was originally recorded to cassette
--apparently, it rain hard on this night the entire time & it was a cold, cold rain
--the lineup on this date for the Furthur Festival 1996 was (from start to finish):  Alvin Youngblood Hart;  Bruce Hornsby;  John Wesley Harding;  Mickey Hart's Mystery Box;  Los Lobos;  Hot Tuna (electric);  RatDog;  Furthur Finale Jam;  also the Flying Karamazov Brothers served as emcees & entertainment between acts

--this venue opened on 1984-04-18 as "The Ballpark"...from 1989-1991 the venue was commonly referred to as "Seashore Performing Arts Center" or simply "SeaPAC" as that was the term used by the promoters of most of the concerts held at that time...it is also known as "Old Orchard Beach Ballpark";  "The Ballpark At Old Orchard Beach";  "Ballpark";  "SeaPAC";  "Seashore PAC";  "Seashore Performing Arts Center";  "The Ball Park";  "Turn Road Stadium"  
--in 1999 the era of concerts at this venue came to an end due to local residents complaining about the loud noise late at night...killjoys!!
