Davis canceled a tour of the western U.S. in February and a European tour in March because he was suffering from "honeymoon palsy" -- where compression of the radial nerve in the arm causes weakness and paralysis in the muscles of the forearm and hand. (So called because it can be caused by someone sleeping on your upper arm.) There were apparently some rehearsals in the studio in late March but the music and personnel are unknown. This is the first known live date after Davis recuperated.
