Magnificent performance by Andersen. We hear superb originals (several of world-class brilliance) and an appropriate cover. The between song talk covers many interesting topics including reminiscences about Montreal.
The recording is incomplete because blank tape ran out, the fine opening act, Bill Garrett & Sue Lothrop, also having been recorded. About ten minutes of dead air was removed whilest Andersen twice changed a guitar string. The torrent has applause in balance, many talk and some music levels raised, and hoots, etc. removed or reduced. It is a fresh transfer from my master and therefore will differ from previous versions of this performance, if any.

Faults: Minor usual audience interference, occasional bar sounds. The whoosh sound sometimes heard was generated by an air circulating fan and is not hiss.
