Notes: Setlist help and corrections always welcome.
Tape sources joined at the end of track 12.
Tape was paused at 00:13 of track 19, silence removed.
It rained heavily on and off during this set,
eventually causing the set to end prematurely.

As always, I am offering this in hopes that it be further shared.
My bandwidth is limited, so all are welcome and encouraged
to share this on other trackers.
