Mastering Notes:
Tape flips during "Thorn In My Pride" and during the applause after "Hard To Handle" - both seamlessly spliced, nothing lost due to the DAT transfer overlapping the cassette sides.

Chris-isms:
Before She Gave Good Sunflower...

"All right...you gotta do us a favor man...it's good to see you all, but it's hot as a motherfucker in here, and we want everybody to be really comfortable, but no crowd surfing, none of that shit, and be careful of the people up front, alright."

After Black Moon Creeping...

"...and if you're too fucked up, go wait in the car for your friends...anyway, here's some rock and roll music."

After Thick N' Thin...

"Hey all, let me tell you something...No, I'm gonna tell you this...I'm not interrupting the fuckin' show for the people in the back again, you people get it fuckin' together, there's no reason at this gig for anyone to fuckin' fight one another, no fuckin' way...and I don't give a fuck what the story is...but this is a big stupid grocery store, and we're gonna have a good fuckin' time, so don't be selfish."
