Notes

Park West
Chicago, Illinois
March 12, 2005

Gary-guitar/vocals, Mark-bass/keyboards/vocals, Razz Russell-fiddle/bass/backing vocals, Ray Woods-drums

The final show of the "reunion" (or "farewell," depending on how you look at it) tour
of Jayhawks originals Mark Olson and Gary Louris. The setlist was a little shorter and less adventurous than previous dates; based on Mark and Gary's comments I'm guessing they wanted to put on a powerful career-ending show for the many friends and family who had traveled in for the show. There are more than enough obscurities in the set for the hardcore Jayhawks fan; Baltimore Sun was a great surprise near the end of the set.

The recording is excellent -- near-perfect except for the inevitable crowd banter one seems to find at every general admission Saturday-night show. This was recorded about 10 feet from the right stack, and all parts are well balanced and nicely balanced
