THE SHOW

This is a historic find. The earliest 2 set full Yonder show known to circulate. i've had a 1 disc version (which consisted of set one plus some filler) for a long time, but here is the full show in all its glory for the first time. this is the period when Yonder still had their day jobs, and were some months away from playing outside of Colorado for the first time. Very few original songs, mostly bluegrass standards and a whole bunch of lovely Burle tunes.

This show demonstrates how important Burle was to the band's development; after a chance meeting at a festival campfire pick, Burle took the boys under his wing (Burle was much better known locally at this time than Yonder were) and gave them songs that would stay part of their repetoire to this day (many of which would turn up on the album Old Hands some 6 years later).

This is a very different and more traditional Yonder. Jeff's singing on Dawns Early Light (one of only three Yonder originals here, along with Adam's Left Me in a Hole and High on a  Hilltop, which Dave and Jeff wrote back in Bluegrasshole days, if i'm not mistaken) is simply beautiful - theres no other word for it.

A piece of Yonder history and a must have.
