Length: 2:16:23

Note: There is a loose connection which results in static noise, most noticeable starting with Alison and persisting until the end of the show. Until Alison, it's not too frequent, which is good for those of us who like the deeper tracks. I later found the problem and hope it doesn't happen again.
