Comments:

This is a reseed of a torrent originally posted in June 2006 -- arguably the best-sounding Seeger Sessions performances in circulation, and one of the best titles in the Crystal Cat collection. The quality is outstanding -- sounds to me as though there is at least one or two IEM sources in this mix, although the taper posted on the original torrent that he was simply in an excellent position relative to the PA.

The performance is outstanding, with Bruce in a loose and jovial mood. The setlist is a mix of old and new that was typical for this point in the tour; I believe this contains the first performance of "Ramrod" on the tour.

This recording is by far my favorite Seeger Sessions show, and the quality can't be beaten. I have shared this with many friends who are not bootleg collectors and they agree this is a must-have.

This posting contains all of the artwork and md5 files that were not on the original torrent; I also renamed the files so it would be more apparent which songs appear on each disc (i.e. "101," "102," etc.). The FLAC files themselves are unchanged from the original torrent.
