Musically it's enjoyable .Except for the bass playing of Stan Kaess. I think it's often obtrusive . "Less is more" I should say.

Thank you so much.
Larry Crawford has some notes on the video, but I wanted to check with him before I posted them. I got his okay, so here they are:
--------------------------------------------------
I have a DVD I filmed many years ago in Rocky Mt. NC. I don’t remember the exact year, but George Grove had been with them 9 years at this time
Stan and Tom Green were still with Bob, George and Roger. Roger was at his best.
Only a true friend/fan of the KT can really appreciate this particular show. It truly defines the absolute professionalism of these veteran entertainers. Behind the scenes, they were somewhat irritated, I personally feel they would have had the legal right to refuse to play, it seemed some conditions in the contract and the contract riders were not followed.
The show was in the middle of a large parking lot. The Stage was a couple of flatbed tractor trailers parked side by side.
A lot of attendees were not necessarily KT fans, just local citizens attending some type of town function, many were trio fans.
The position and size of the flatbeds and stage setup, with the drums and Stan caused a major problem. It appeared that George and Stan and Bob were standing beside each other, way to the left was Tom and his Drums and to the left of him was Roger!
Roger made several on stage comments, mostly humorous about being so far away from each other.
It was a nice day out and they played two sets! A long show
It was difficult at times for them to hear each other, even with the stage monitors.
Bob was, as always, right on target! In complete control. The KT did a few tunes, mostly Roger, that I had never heard before or sense.
There arose an issue with one of the promoters about me video taping the show but Shane told me I could, so I did.
I didn’t do an excellent job of videotaping and sometimes people in the audience were walking or standing in front of me.
For the most part it came out okay and gives a chance to see the highly professional way they made the best out of a terrible experience.
This is the only copy of this show in existence, I have no copies. I’d be glad to send it to you to watch and copy. But please send it back to me
