|
 |
| 11/18/03 The Saint (Asbury Park, NJ) Josh solo - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Great recording of Josh (loud and clear), but show has some distracting bar noise (register, squeaky door).

 |
| 11/20/03 Border's Books & Music (Philadelphia, PA) Josh solo - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Here's the deal: Josh was doing an "in-store" appearance at this store; the mic/amp system was on the fritz.
