"The show wasn't recorded at a small club. It was an outdoor festival held on the USD campus on a surprisingly cold spring evening. I was the music editor of Tempest Magazine in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and had done a long interview with Tommy to promote the show. I was also doing a radio show on KAUR, the college station of Augustana College in Sioux Falls. On the show, I had an hour-long segment called the Tempest Concert Series, where I replayed local shows that I taped on my DAT. I had received the ok to record all of the bands - three Sioux Falls bands (including Violet, who have worked with Slim after the 'Mats breakup) and co-headliner Trip Shakespeare. Tommy had given me the okay to record when I did the phone interview, but I went backstage on the night of the show to confirm. Due to the cold, wind, and questionable PA, he said no. But I wasn't to be stopped. I kept the DAT hooked up, but hid it in my bookbag. I started it a few minutes before he actually took the stage and luckily the sound guy never checked.

One more thing about the Vermillion show. B&P closed the show but there was a bit of backstage dissension. Trip Shakespeare felt they should be the real headliners so they played longer than they were scheduled. Because the show was outdoors close to some dormitories, the show had to be over by 11. This is why B&P only had an hour to play...of course they probably didn't have much more material anyway."
