Live on Blueberry Hill (9-4-70) ** Final Announcement **

["Brad M. Lauchnor" <blauchno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok I promised to tree this show so I will!!! 

I have the Cobla version of this show. It's a fairly recent release and as far
as I know the most complete. 

If you have never heard this show, well I guess I'll have to say that it is a
great show. Not the most electric performance of all time but very nice. The
sound quality is very good and the atmosphere is fantastic. This is an audience
recording and after talking with some of our Japanese list members I'm convinced
that half the people in the audience were taping this show :)

I also have a vinyl release of this show on Rubber Dubber records. It is NOT the
release used for the Cobla version so it offers a somewhat different view of the
show. Not much different but I'm going to throw part of it in for the
completists(side 2 of the 90 min). And, if there is room I'll also throw in
"Taurus" by Spirit. It doesn't really have much relevance to this show but as
filler it may be interesting. IF IT FITS. If it doesn't, too bad ;-p

So this is what I will need YOU to do.

Send me the following email:

in the "subject" line:

BBHILL TREE

in the message:

Your Name
Your email address
Branch/Leaf 
State and/or Country

I don't know how many people will respond to this but I want to warn everyone
that I am very busy. So if it takes a while just keep your pants on. 

The tree will consist of 1x100min and 1x90min tape. Of course trading is
encouraged between leafs and branches but I KNOW all the branches will be
willing to copy this show for blanks and postage (if you can't, you won't be a
branch :) )

This tree will be open for sign ups until closing on NOV. 3 at midnight. Don't
wait, sign up now!!!

Any questions or things I forgot? mail me

Chris,

This is what I always thought the lyrics were as well.
