Attention, sonic archaeologists and connoisseurs of lost musical treasures! Prepare to have your minds blown by a discovery that's been fermenting in the vaults for nearly half a century.

It's January 1976. While most of America is nursing a post-Bicentennial hangover, Shawn Phillips and J. Peter Robinson are busy metamorphosing into a two-man orchestra at Austin's AWHQ. Now, after a six-year Indiana Jones-style quest (minus the boulders, plus a lot of emails and phone calls), we've unearthed the holy grail: the original 1" multitrack tapes of this legendary performance.

This isn't just a concert; it's alchemy. Across 15 meticulously crafted tracks and two free-wheeling improvisations, witness Phillips and Robinson defy the laws of physics, conjuring full-band sounds from just four hands and two brilliant minds. "Manhole Covered Wagon" roars like a V8 engine, while "L' Ballade" weaves a spell so potent, you can hear the audience's collective mind being blown.

But wait, there's more! This auditory artifact is available (both individually and with bundle options) exclusively from the Think Like A Key Music web store for six months. After that, who knows? It might vanish like the Armadillo itself (RIP 1981).

Remember: What happens at the Armadillo, stays at the Armadillo... unless it's captured on 1" tape and resurrected 47 years later. Get your slice of hippie heaven before it sells out faster than you can say "psychedelic Texas two-step"!
