I am extremely interested in these live show recordings you mention.Not familiar with these sites.Can you recommend some titles and give some more info. I am a fanatic fan as well and was at the Fitzgerald show you mentioned [as well as every show they have played there since].They also played a historic July 4th show at Grant Park in Chicago.It was a WXRT show.It is famous because they opened for the Replacements who broke up on stage and that became their final show.The roadies finished the very last number.Unfortunately I only recorded that show on the radio. Ironically it is Steve Ferguson who Terry is playing with currently.
