Eugene '90
My first shows in the PNW and man o man were they a hoot and a half. 6/23 has been released (DaP 44 - thanks Dave!) and 6/24 was another sweet one. Coincidentally was thinking about listening to it last few days. This is a great 1st Set. Sweet Ultramatrix via Charlie Miller for anybody who cares to hear the whole enchilada.
