Beautiful soundboard recording. 
Supposedly a DAT soundboard. 1991 seems pretty early for DAT (it was introduced in 1987, but was not widely used for several years). The absence of any noticeable tape hiss, however, makes a digital recording definitely plausible.
At the end of Track 15, Tipitina's emcee Ricky Castrillo notes that it's early Thanksgiving morning. (Thanksgiving was Nov. 28 in 1991.)
John Mooney opened the show.
"Had to Get Away," an original song, has never been commercially released by the band (other than on a very rare cassette that was sold at their early shows prior to them signing a record contract).
"Nighttime is the Right Time," a blues cover, has never been released by the band.
"It's So Hard," which had been in the band's repertoire since before they were the subdudes, would not be released for about there years. 

Much appreciation to the original poster!

  1. One of the best bands I ever saw live. (Not to be listened to while operating heavy machinery.)

    Thank you.

  2. Thank you! Another band I've heard of but not familiar with their music. Good as anytime to start! I agree about 1991 being early for DAT. We had them in the studio in 1988, but converters were in their early stages. Not the best sounding Digital format at the time, I recall the Mitsubishi 2 track machines sounding good. The Sony PCM F1 was great sounding! None of these were portable. Cheers!
