Notes:

  1. Ryan Adams (vocals/guitar); Eric “Roscoe” Ambel (guitar on last three songs);  Mike Daly (guitar), Keith Christopher (bass), and Steve Terry (drums).

  2. Tilt-A-Whirl is “about getting really stoned at Hershey Park.  That’s all you can do when you’re on tour with Fogerty.”

  3. Mistakenly labeled as a 1999 show by some traders.

  4. This show often circulates with the 01/05/00 versions of  The String And The Wire and Statuettes With Wounds substituted for Oh, Sally and Involuntary Tears, and missing Boon Town.

  5. Ryan: "I sort of got bored and started a NYC band that's playing two shows.  Keith Christopher is on bass and singing.  I'm on mostly an acoustic guitar and singing.  Mike Fuckin Daly is on electric guitar and stuff.  Steven Terry is on the drums.  We're playing this Saturday at the Mercury Lounge at 11:30 and the following Friday at Coney Island High with Tommy's ban Perfect.  Those are the only two shows were doing and we don't have a name although we got lots of sad songs.  I thought maybe a few people would want to know. Bye for now."

  6. Ryan:  "The album "Damaged" by Black Flag still stands as my favorite although the early incarnations with Dez singing, hell even Chuck singing were as mind-blowing, if not more, but maybe the double guitar assault on "Damaged" and
    Chucks bass playing, and Henry really wanting to make those cuts real on that
    record, it just isolated so much anger into one place, like "Room 13". I dare
    somebody to try and cover that song.  The show we played the other night was really cool, and i felt pretty at home. Everybody was real nice afterwards and i was really happy that most folks stayed interested considering that they were all new songs aside from, "Dancing with the womens".  It dosent look like were gonna play on Friday due to a last minute gig that Keith Christopher has been offered. But as far as I know were gonna record that stuff for maybe future release or at least to document it. I want that stuff to be a solo record one day so as not to start sucking when I get boring and old.  It sounds corny saying this as I am only in my mid-twenties, but man I miss punk rock, I miss whatever I had to do with it so much that I get together with the boys and write really slow mollasses ass acoustic dreamycountry tunes about it.  That in itself could be what wrong with the universe. On that note WhiskeyTown are out on tour for most of september in the West and Midwest, maybe finishing up in Chicago. Probably gonna play mostly new tunes for the next record. Its all quite loud nasty stonesy shit that I am gonna guess most people will not like at first, but hell, anything but dance music man,
    Anyfuckin thing.  Im gonna make a double album that dosent suck.  Whatever, Ryan.  P.S. I think that Black Flag live in 84 is finally out in most record stores.
    You can direct order it from SST as well. If you call out there you may even
    get to talk to Mr. Greg Ginn himself. If you do ask him where the hell the
    Leaving Trains are.
