vg NOTES (2025-05-20):  

--Thanks so much to Ted Dralle for recording & sharing this Tower Of Power 1993 show & to the whole team of Toni Fishman, Bill Hoy, Scott Medeiros & Rich Lemire for all their parts in getting this beauty out to the masses for all of us to enjoy.  Absolutely Appreciated all around!!  

--the soundcheck from this performance was broadcast over WHCN that afternoon...who has that out there to share??  

--Tower Of Power played The Sting the next night as well on 1993-11-06

--I added more detail to the band members info

--corrected a couple song titles toward how they appear on the original albums

--added more detail to the setlist info & venue info

--this venue no longer exists...it was a 1,200 capacity nightclub in operation from November 1990 until September 1998...it eventually closed due to financial issues, including a large judgment against the business, & competition from casinos & other venues...building used to be grocery stores ("Grand Union" & "First National") &, right before it became The Sting, it was a bowling alley called "New Britain Bowl"...after The Sting it became a liquor store named "Liquor Depot"
