I recently traded for a live recording of BR at the Bottom Line in NYC. The 2 CD set was flagged as being from 1994-06-23. Disc 1 clearly has a welcome from Jim, and the last track is an encore. Pretty clear that I've got a complete set. For disc 2, I again have an intro and what seems to be an encore. However, the show has a lot of tape hiss indicating different taper, mics used, recording levels/locations, etc. Also, the show has a completely different set list. Sarah McLachlan sits in with the guys for several numbers. I've got set lists for both discs; however, I've also got a question. Does this sound right to anyone? Would they have done 2 shows back then in the same evening?

I've tried to Google to see if I could find a historical show/setlist archive maintained by the band or a fan - something similar to what is maintained for Rush, The Hip, Todd Snider, and others. So far no luck.  Thought I'd ask the Q here.

 Long time, no post for me here. Will try to get back in a groove.
 

Welcome back PC. If that is the same one I heard, it is a booleg of two shows they did on separate nights in either 1994 or possibly in 1995. I heard parts of both of them at a now defunct used record dealer's shop a couple of years ago. You're right. First show's recording is of fair to decent quality sound. The second show contains very audible tape hiss and I don't think the mics were anywhere near the soundboard. I was almost tempted to buy it but after hearing the poor quality of the recording of the second show, I decided to pass on it.

I will do a bit more searching, but I would imagine that the set list for both shows followed pretty closely whatever Blue Rodeo's set list was for the "Five Days in July" tour...if that's of any help.
