Scott had a radio show scheduled in Knoxville TN at WUTK in the afternoon before the show that night at the Pilot Light. He invited me along and I filmed.
Rare acoustic unamplified Scott. First two minutes have some digital issues, but it clears up.

My first video recording of Scott H. Biram. He had played 7th Street Entry in Mpls the night before and on March 5th, he played the Turf Club in St Paul.
Not sure if this poster was from this show, but it was from one of these early shows.

My notes show that the Mood Swings opened and Missing Numbers performed after Scott. I did not record those shows. There was also someone else there recording video.

I believe this is my first Scott H. Biram show and the first time I met Scott. I used to travel to Milwaukee frequently for business. This show was at the Onopa Brewery. I don't think this venue is still there, or it has changed names or ownership.
Pupy Costello & His Big City Honky Tonk and also The Mighty Lumberhorn were the two opening bands. Joe Buck followed after Scott. I did not record Joe's show.
I'm not 100% sure on the date of this show. It may have been Aug 23 and not Aug 25.
