The last of a six-night run an Kimball's East. The first set of this recording has circulated since 2005. The second set, which his incomplete, likely has not circulated before.

This was sourced from a DAT that likely matches the DAT that circulates (I could not find a copy to compare). Although the DAT recording may have come directly from the soundboard as is claimed, it is more likely that this tape was derived from Rob Darroch's PCM made from the SBD master cassette from Julien, the sound engineer at Kimball's. The audio matches the PCM tape perfectly and the sound quality is identical. What's not clear is why (and how) the recording went from 16/44.056 to 16/48. But it's unlikely that Julien allowed a SBD patch to anyone.

Both the PCM and this DAT fade out after about 30 minutes of Set II, and if the rest ever existed, it seemingly does not any more.

Enjoy
