From "welcome back to the stage" comments at the beginning of track 2, this appears to be the late show. It was on the same tape as two performances from 12/29/00, and although the J-card was labelled 11/30 the DAT itself was marked 12/30, which is probably right. There is a touch of static during the banter in track 3, which seems to have come from the stage, not the tape.

The recording needed some high end and a little oomph, which Ozone 9 provided. Otherwise, what you hear is what went down.

Enjoy!
