This recording from Mike Millard had gone largely uncirculated due to the fact that Mike himself gave the recording a poor rating. From what people say he was his own worst critic (aren't we all). The recording is anything but poor, the audience is a little rowdy, which is why I give it a Very Good Audience rating rather than an Excellent Audience Recording rating.

This is a great show from this tour, which was cut short by the way, an accident with Ozzy on a motorcycle, I mean the guy didn't learn his lesson either given his quad runner accident in the early 2000s. This show was actually recorded as a favor to Mike Millard's concert going friend/recording partner Jim. Mike actually decided to record the opening act Ruby Starr & Grey Ghost, a Southern Rock band fronted by Black Oak Arkansas backup singer Ruby Starr. Which is also available on the blog (click here).
