Show Notes:
This was an intense experience. You hiked from the parking area into the woods and to the mouth of a huge Copper mine. There were people out in the woods everywhere. They laid sawdust inside the mine to help with footing, and the electricity was provided by generators. To say that the natives were restless for the show is a huge understatement. They formed a human chain to keep people outside until the band was ready, but that fell apart when someone got pepper-sprayed. It was chaos after that, which did not help the taping process, but certainly added to the experience. During set-break, you could explore very deep inside the core of the mineshaft, which was brilliantly lit with all of the headlamps and lighters. After the show, all lights were blue, as the Police had roadblocks at all exits. Don’t say that JB didn’t warn you;)

This is not a great recording, but it is listenable and worth seeding just for the historical significance of the Cave show. Enjoy!

  4. It is worth the listen just to hear JB warn the crowd about the cops and about the road blocks set up at both ends of the road. He does it during the shortened Coconut at the end. The early sounding Panic is pretty awesome, also.

  5. I actually have a video from this show. It's on a VHS. What an awesome night.

  7. I want a copy! We don’t live that far apart; I’d love to get a copy and digitize it.
