Today’s on this date is one of those ?-CDR things that became prevalent in the era of CDR trading. It sure sounds like a digital source- no noise at all. The mix is decent as well. Snare is a bit low, but otherwise good enough.
I absolutely love when she does the Butterfly cover. “Butterfly (aka So Much Wine)” by Irish folk singer Christy Moore, originally by The Handsome Family (Brett & Rennie Sparks) and she just slays it, and she opens with it here.

I’m taking a small risk and pulling something off my “no list” list for today’s On This Date in History. A little less than half this show was released by the band on the “Barbara Manning & The Go-Luckys! – One Starry Night At The Shop” LP… but I was sent the entire show because I booked Barbara’s tour.
I had no experience in booking a tour- just a cell phone, some business sense, my friend Laurie’s list of club contacts, and Intel’s fax machine (don’t tell them, ok?. haha). It turned out to be a successful 6 week tour and the band actually came out ahead! Only 1 failed show out of 30 or so.
It’s a bit of a risk because 1. the entire thing was not released but could be. Maybe Pat Thomas can drum up a 3xLP deluxe record store day reissue. and 2. I don’t know if (the now long-defunct) Innerstate Records would appreciate their legalese being out on the internets. So that’s 2 reasons for Pat to get excited about this, 1 for Russ from innerstate, and 1 for Robert (the recording guy at the shop). Let me know, guys.

I had something different planned for today’s OTD post, but I could not get the snare to surface in izotope like I thought I could, so you get this instead. It’s nice consolation. Having booked Barbara’s US tour in 2001, the Steinbach twins (the Go Luckys part of the band) would always randomly send me nice things in the mail. This is one of them. I don’t know if they ever sold these as a limited edition CDR or just gave them to friends.. it’s not on discogs, so it hasn’t been sold recently. This is a full band set in a record store. I don’t ever recall them doing Dancing in the Dark other than this show.
