I have the Jackson NJ show on CD that I found on Ebay about 17 years ago. One of my prized possessions. It sounds professionally recorded. Chris is so funny too because she was playing Great Adventures Amusement park but did not know the name of the town. You have to hear her banter with the audience about it. Its hysterical. Then she dedicates Songbird to them because about a week before the concert, several teenagers died at a fun house fire at the park.
Now you know why I say this was probably the best concert in my life.

Awesome story! I have to say the Cleveland Show was one of the best shows of my life, too. She just jammed with a fantastic band and it had that spirit of a very entertaining night out. And she looked amazing.
