updated jan 2023:  listening to this again for the first time in probably 8 years, and i really enjoyed it.  yes, there was a bit of crowd noise, but it worked (for me at least, again!) to give it that ‘live show’ feel.  it’s a long show too, and they took the time to play some long numbers, always nice!  i’ve added the musicians’ urls i could find & a photo (which i wasn’t doing 8 years ago).

i’ve downloaded two ernie watts shows from ‘ijwthstd’ on dime.  ijwthstd doesn’t give much information about anything*, and (be warned) there is a quite a lot of crowd noise in this.  but i really enjoyed it.  enough that i took the trouble to update the info file (below) with what i could, though i couldn’t understand the titles of the last two songs (not even sure those titles were announced).  maybe it caught me in just the right mood, i don’t know… so here’s the show from 2011 that was seeded back in january  2014.
*  on dime, he has a ul/dl ratio of 1.7, and high volume; should we complain too loudly?
