Reviews

Robyn announced at the Roxy that they would be playing Largo later that night. I remember speeding from the Roxy to Largo on the 31st. That was also the night that a tall strawberry blonde guy with a matching mustache was right up front holding his tape recorder out in plain sight. I think his name was James. After the show, Robyn's manager approached him and asked him for the tape as Largo's soundboard copy didn't turn out. James immediately pointed at me and told them, "Peter has a DAT copy." They took my DAT, which was a 180 minute DAT and had both nights on it and I hadn't copied it yet. Thankfully, it was mailed back to me pretty quickly and the envelope also included a CD copy of the promo Dylan recreation gig.

I also remember the opener was supposed to be Kim Fox, but she didn't show. I think Tim Keegan opened. Hmmm, memory is failing me:)
