Excewllent performance from one of my top favourites and from what I consider to be her best era; enjoy. And no, I do not have the Leo Kottke set. Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, of whose name I am unaware, for the excellent source recording. The torrent has applause in balance, many talk and some music levels raised, hoots, etc. removed or reduced, and is nearly free of audience chatter. It is a fresh transfer from my clone and therefore will differ from previous versions of this performance, if any.

Faults: Trivial and infrequent usual audience interference, misc. clunks
