- This night at Wah-Wah's on Sept. 2 started when i saw that Reg Scanlan's time was going to be freed up, once he no longer was on the road with the Suspects ... so, i wanted to concoct a gig that I could whip together fairly quickly ...it was June and I was looking at July for the gig ... and I thought if I enlisted Camile on the project, he, Reg, & I had such a backlog of tunes from RADS days, that it would be easy to scrabble some sets together... but July didn't work for a number of reasons, neither did August, and me, being the sort of tinkerer I am, and with all this timeless time on my fins, I started taking Rads' tunes and twisting them this way and that way and eventually all these tunes found new homes, new settings and arrangements that refreshed them and displayed different tones, colors, and rhythms than they ever had before ....the Great Skink, the Unknowable, joined us on percussion support, to help blend it all together, and the results proved to be very satisfying, both for us musicians involved and the audible audience who showed up that magical Friday night at Chickie Wah-Wah's ....a special thanks to Jim Morrison for capturing the night and a big giggling Gilligan thanks to Jon "Heartless" Hart for going the distance and bringing the whole thing into living, sonic perspective ....Pete was a fountain and Al didn't Hirt ....

- In the middle of Hold Back the Flood the bartender told the FOH that he could not hear the drink orders. So the FOH made the stage left PA speaker mono and turned down the the stage right speaker. It was left this way for the rest of the show. Adjustments were make in post to the sound level but you can still hear a difference in the mix.
- FOH - unknown
- Recorded by Jim Morrison
- Mixed, mastered, and uploaded by Jon Hart
