Original CD dates the show as 7/14 & 7/21, 1956.  
Further research placed the shows at the dates listed above; details below.
I moved the Sign Off from the 13th track on the CD to the end of the first show,
so the track transition may be poor -- if you want to recreate the original boot,
put the last track from the 16th on the end of the 23rd.  In general, this is not a
great sounding show, but definately listenable.  Besides, how often do you get to
hear the great Spider Burks?   Oh and those Miles and Coltrane guys are on here too as
well as a couple features for the rhythm section.

The Soulard CD lists the date for this performance as July 21, 1956, but this seems to be wrong.
 Spider Burks was fired by KXLW-AM on July 11, 1956, two days before the Davis Quintet opened
 a nine-day gig at Peacock Alley (July 13-21, Friday-Saturday). He was hired by KSTL-AM in
 August 1956 and quickly began live Saturday matinee broadcasts from Peacock Alley. 
The Davis Quintet returned to Peacock Alley in February 1957 for a nine-day gig
 (February 15-23,Friday-Saturday). In all likelihood, then, the Soulard material comes from 
broadcasts on February 16 and 23, and the correct station is KSTL-AM. Many thanks to 
Chris DeVito for careful research here.
