**	shows recorded for the *In Concert* album.
1	The famous 'chicken coop' studio - and yes, it really was originally a hen house, albeit a brick built one. The studio was established in 1972 on the Kaufman family farm outside Otho IA, which would make Brian & Spring one of the first acts to record there. According to one of the studio engineers, while in Otho, Brian ran the lights at a live show by one of the local bands.
2	These were benefit shows for The Love Foundation (an organisation for prison reform, founded by Mike and based on TM principles).
3	Given that the band performed in Ohio later the same day, the date of this session is highly suspect.
4	Both Bruce & Brian appeared on stage during the encore.
5	Performed by Alan, Carl & Dennis. The band were in Colorado for a show and Peter Cetera (a huge BB fan) invited them up to Caribou.
6	Bruce joined the band for the encore. After this show, Blondie had a backstage bustup with manager Steve Love and quit the band.
