I painstakingly scrubbed approximately 220(!!!) annoying claps, yells, and whistles which were right near the mics from this recording

Taper notes:
BARN189 is the flip-side of my previous BARN release (#188) -- this was Lettuce's opening set on the same late-night (post midnight start) bill with Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk (with special guests Trey Anastasio and Eric Krasno plus the Lettuce horns).  This is an interesting "middle period" Lettuce -- beyond the early years with Jeff Bhasker -- when they still had Sam Kininger on saxophone and before they hooked up with Nigel Hall.  The band must have been on a semi-hiatus at this point, as I can find no recorded evidence of any other Lettuce performances between 12/30/2003 (which I also recorded) and 2008, amazingly!

Somehow this is rare performance from the band during a long stretch of non-performance (or at least undocumented performances) with no vocalist and a hugely expanded horn section --notably including the incredible Rashawn Ross on trumpet (who just a few months later was drafted into the Dave Matthews Band), "Big Sam" Williams -- a New Orleans-based trombonist who's gone onto a good amount of fame on his own,  and Sam Kininger and Ryan Zoidas -- both of whom were part of the original Lettuce horn section.

I'm psyched for you all to hear the awesome funk in this recording -- despite the fact that it's now 14+ years later!

Once again, I spent an inordinate amount of time scrubbing out individual over 200 individual loud nearby claps, yells, whistles, etc. from this recording, for all of our listening enjoyment!

Enjoy!
