This is a slight upgrade of the torrent found here:

It has been prepared for us by Professorgoody...here is what he did:

"This show has now been tuned, as it ran quite fast/sharp in any previous editions, and the tracks now all start
with music, rather than long applauses and silences. I haven't applied any noise reduction or EQ to any
of this. The music is untouched, other than the necessary pitch correction done to the whole thing to
the best of my ability. That, in turn, slowed it down a bit in the process, back to where it was first
performed and heard. "I believe I'm presenting this in much better condition than that in which it currently
circulates."

"I wish I knew the name of the original taper and seeder for this set from when I got it in 2005 so I
could thank him/her. I imagine I did at the time I got it in one of these DimeEZ incarnations. It was a
very well preserved source, considering the date and probable circumstances, although not without
some hiss. Perhaps they'll leave a comment and say "Hi!"

"Thanks to Cyrus who seeded the version at Dime which proceeded this, from his own traded source,
but which we confirmed to be as close to identical as we could determine. I really like the teamwork
and camaraderie here among the whole Dime community! So glad to be able to get another classic back
out to the world in the best condition available."
