Notes:

Due to the live matrixing of the two sources, there is a
noticeable delay/echo, especially during vocals and quieter
parts.
Tape flip between tracks 7 and 8. No music lost.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
I was one of the first cars into the parking lot that morning, but the ‘Powers That Be’ wouldn’t let us into the gates of the show with our recording equipment until the Allman Brothers arrived and announced to them that taping was indeed OK. Fortunately, my friend Jim’s girlfriend went in while we waited outside and took a blanket in to reserve a spot. (We could have been a lot closer to the stage if security would have just let us in when we got there.) I remember that we missed the first one or two opening sets because of the miscommunication with the recording policy, and Blues Traveler was the first set that I ran tape for that day. Someone mentioned to us that they were doing a low-power FM broadcast off the board, but it was mono, so I set up my little Sony SRF-M30 quartz locked FM walkman and mixed the Nakamichi CM-300 shotguns with the FM signal. It was hard to monitor the sound at the show, and I didn’t realize that there was a big delay in the sound coming off the PA stacks as opposed to the FM feed. I still think that it sounds better than just the audience mics all by themselves. I still have the poster for this show!

Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. 😉

SOURCE
Excellent Soundboard recording
‘Born Again From The Rhythm – The Grace Outtakes ‘ – Godfather Records, GR 172.
Lineage: Silver Bootleg CDs > EAC > Flac >bt-completedir > HC > you

This bootleg does not contain all outtakes – its missing known outtakes – ‘Calling You’,
‘Forget Her’, ‘Kanga-Roo’, and ‘Lost Highway’. May have also contained an additional track of
‘Mama, You Been On My Mind’.

The only other bootleg having this very same material is ‘The Bearsville Grace Outtakes’
but the quailty is not as pristine as on ‘Born Again From The Rhythm’.

Tracklist correlated to archived webpage sources from archive.org, date taken
from the book Dream Brother by David Browne.

NOTES
Recording at the Bearsville Studio started late September 1993 (after the 20th) to around
October 30, so exact dates of these recordings cant be more accurately dated.

During these sessions ‘Calling You’, ‘Forget Her’, ‘Kanga-Roo’, and ‘Lost Highway’ had been also performed which appear in other forms on official releases.

For a second, after ‘Night Flight’ Jeff goes into the riff of ‘Celebration Day’.
Just before finishing off he also goes into Hymn To A’Lamour and plays its tune.

Recent upgrade (made available by the original taper in May 2005) of what was previously described here as, “A very rough bootleg, both in terms of sound quality and performance”. This recording is significantly better; for a start, it’s complete and lacks the drop-outs that afflicted the other source.

Despite the declaration “It’s time to make another record. Vacation in the ghetto’s over.” Steve’s next album and tour weren’t to materialise until 1995, and listening to this it becomes clear why. You’ve got to admire the fact that he’s even able to take the stage. Raw and powerful stuff, but his voice is shot to hell and every song sounds like a colossal effort. A fight breaks out in the audience after Hurtin’ Me, Hurtin’ You and Steve has to halt proceedings temporarily to try and restore some sort of order. According to another attendee, the interruption was caused by Steve’s heading out into the crowd to “deal with” somebody who had shouted a comment about him using.

Some comments from a guy who was at the gig:
“It’s pretty amazing Steve, in his condition, was even standing upright. And yet, I’ll tell you, I had never heard the guy before, didn’t care, got dragged by a friend, and waited while he was about two hours late showing up and YET, it was a real powerful concert. I was very impressed with him.Whatever else was going on with him (that’s pretty much the world’s biggest euphemism? Right?), I had a great time and my friend proved herself right that he was a superb talent. Even on THAT night, if you were there, and had never seen him before, whatever it was STILL came shining through all that damage, and the lateness and the fight in the audience.He took no prisoners that show, I’m telling you. See someone at their absolute WORST and become a devoted fan? It doesn’t happen that often. He absolutely won me over with his talent.
…
I remember the fight [“House lights please”] now. It was toward the back of the club but I now recall it was bad enough that I remember I said to my friend “Should we LEAVE?” and she said, “Nah, just a bunch of cowboys.” But this was not a shoving-match type thing, I seem to recall like, a chair being thrown quite aways, it wasn’t a little dust-up. I’ve worked in nightclubs and seen a few and honestly thought when this one started, maybe head for the door? Which is not my usual response to that crap, this one was fairly dramatic. Don’t remember ANYTHING about what Steve was up to at that point, I’m sure Steve doesn’t remember ANYTHING either… I’d be surprised if Steve remembers he even played that gig.”
