Providence, R.I.

Soundboard @flac

(Recorded at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, Providence, Rhode Island) 

For many years the combination of John Cipollina and Nick Gravenites played together in different incarnations of bands. For a couple of months they used the banner of "Nicksilver". This is a smooth sounding soundboard from a set in Providence R.I. in 83. The combo of Nick and John always seemed to gel and was a great period in John's career.

*Tracks are marked with date of 10-13-83. According to http://www.johncipollina.com/audio.html no recordings were made on that date. This has also been distributed as 9-19-1983. According to the above site 9-25 is most likely the correct date.

Disc one: 52:22

01 - You Can't Hurt Me No More/Linda Lou Medley
02 - Run Out Of West
03 - You Can Leave Your Hat On
04 - I'll Pull The Trigger
05 - Trouble In The Teepee
06 - Mama Don't Allow It
07 - I Did It For The Band
08 - Fantasy World
09 - Who Do You Love

Disc two: 36:36

01 - Goin' Back To Anna
02 - Buried Alive In The Blues
03 - Good Night Irene
04 - Dekalb Blues
05 - Pride Of Man
06 - Hit Man
07 - Bad Luck Baby
