Thanks to Mark Weygandt, from whose website (now defunct) this information was retrieved, along with the informal show reviews and comments below, which were originally posted to the Sugar internet mailing list: -------------------------------------- From: FMartens A small, intimate venue. A good crowd, Bob in great form. Some new songs, interesting, experimental DAT backing tracks, with drums, guitars, keyboards, and vocals all for Bob to play along with. Some fun stuff. ----------------------- From: Kevin Parker/Barbara Laudisi Just wanted to echo the comments on last night's show. Very good set and very promising new songs. I brought a friend who had never seen Bob before and he walked away very impressed. I can't wait to hear the finished products of the new material. Brasilia and the electric set were high points for me. ----------------------- From: Novotny, Joe Hmmmm...I don't know. The Barracuda show was good, but it was not my favorite Bob show by any means. Brasilia was great, but a song that big needs a bigger sound system. I think I am just spoiled since every time I've seen Bob he has played venues that better accommodate his sound. I thought Barracuda was intimate, though you really had to be up front to enjoy the show. The sound in the back was merely okay, and the tracks with DAT backing were really a blur. It was almost as if Bob was hooked up through a boom box. But the new material is good, and I think that he will really take an interesting turn with some of his work. He was very enthusiastic about taking time off and writing, and I think he has been writing a lot of material. But for those who missed the Barracuda show, don't worry. It was good, but not the defining performance of his career.
