This is a nice, solid SBD, but the first track is pre-show noodling and the levels don't come up fully until HC Sunshine gets started. Give it a few minutes.

This DAT was labelled, clearly, by a reliable taper/trader, but this performance does NOT match the setlist on collectors' lists at https://db.etreedb.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=57585. The band did not have a copy in its archive to settle the matter. The performance is certainly from 1999, and the setlist does not match any other circulating show.

Enjoy!
