The Story:

Galactic were originally scheduled to play Indianapolis on 4/3/05; the show was cancelled for some reason but they were able to schedule a new gig in Milwaukee. The rappers didn't make the stop with them that night, presumably they'd pushed on to Madison, about an hour west, where Galactic were already on for 4/5. Shank Hall had to be the smallest venue they played that tour by a wide margin, it only holds 300 people. Faced with a make-up gig in a tiny venue in a city they'd initially passed on for the college town next door, they could've phoned it in. Instead, they blew the roof off the place.

There were two tapers that night, a guy in his 20s and a guy in his 50s. For whatever reason I decided to approach the older guy, Scott Sparkman. I asked him if he posted to bt.etree and he had no idea what I was talking about, but he was happy to trade e-mail addresses, and eventually sent me a copy, as audio CDs. Then, between summer 2005 and now, I had various life things and/or failed to get my shit together, and thus the show went uncirculated--to the best of my knowledge, neither this source nor the other
has surfaced in the intervening years. A non-fade, non DAE verison would be better, plus I'd like to hear that second source to see if it's less distorted. But for now, a flawed source is better than none. Hope you enjoy it.

Incidentally, Shank Hall is a different venue than what you see in This Is Spinal Tap (which is actually in UWM), but does have a little Stonehenge hanging over the stage, which Galactic's lighting designer made sure to target.
