taper note: 
Second night is incomplete because of recorder power malfunction. However, sound both nights is most excellent. 

joeyjay notes: 
Cool little two-night stand by Joe and Joel at the venerable Old Quarter, the relocated and legendary venue (in name and ownership) that was Townes Van Zandt's old stomping grounds when it was in Houston. Lots of fun moments, including a trainwreck ending to "White Freightliner Blues" just after it started because Joel's "big truck whine" cracked up Joe and the crowd. Other great touches included a three-song opening on Night 2 as a salute to Townes on his birthday, including "Waiting 'Round To Die"; Jimmie Dale's "When The Nights Are Cold" (written by Butch); Gram Parsons' "Hickory Wind"; a spur-of-the-moment duet with Friday opener Lisa Morales on "Where Is My Love?"; the classic "Honky Tonk Masquerade" and a tantalizing one-verse 
run at "Locked In A Boxcar With The Queen Of Spain." (dang!) One final thing that is not insignificant: Sound throughout is delicious. As always, all thanks go to Joe - and all the Ely Band boys and sidemen - for all of the spirited nights of music and enjoyment over these many years. Continued thanks to The Coin for the now-retired surrogate mics that saved so many of those memories for posterity and to longtime chum D. Ortiz for the current loaners.
