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.
