there are a bunch of shows with small amounts of harp on them.  either
guests or someone who does "vocals, guitar/keyboards/harmonica", 
meaning not a lot of harp.   there're a couple of bela fleck shows with
howard levy.  there's a single show from a band called Brickhouse, 
with some fun harp on it.  and there're two moe shows from 4/19 and
4/20/2002 (i think) with popper sitting in on the whole second sets of
each.  some good stuff on there.  i'm particularly fond of the "but anyway" >
"happy hour hero" on the 4/19 show.

not clear to me what's left after the recent dead debacle, 
but there used to be a dead show there with james cotton
sitting in, and i think some with lee oskar.

also, search for matthew kelly.  probably sitting in with the dead or NRPS.

the "search" facility is your friend.
