Excellent recording of a show typical for the ers. Dhindell's contribution is essential. Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, of whose name I am no longer aware, 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.

Fault: Mild and infrequent usual audience interference.
