Recorded live at Fetzery Winery in Hopland, California on June 22, 1997
21-26
Peter Rowan, same date and venue.

A wonderful soundboard from the Summer '97 solo acoustic tour of the U.S. Not only is the sound quality exceptionally high, but it's a great performance as well. In addition, the setlist is interesting, including an early outing for Bathsheba Smiles (which wouldn't make it onto a record until 1999's Mock Tudor).

The filler is part of Peter Rowan's set at the same festival, with his son Lorin lending support. Peter's familiar to me as a contributor to Steve Earle's Train A-Comin' album.

Note: The person who sent me this show attributed it to Portland, Oregon on June 27, 1997, but I'm fairly certain that date is incorrect.
