Earliest known version of Dead Flowers. Lance, who was there, passed on this information and also noted '[This club is] a little hole in the wall. A very small crowd. But didn't matter a bit. It felt like Steve and the Dukes were in my living room playing. To this day I say it was the best show I have ever seen. Afterwards Steve and the band hung out with the crowd, signed some autographs and had some drinks, very down to earth.'
