SPECIAL PLEA: Some DIME members have enormous speed and/or bandwidth and frequently accumulate twice or more the upload total of the nearest seeder. Please, would any such member remove themself from my torrent after fifteen or maybe thirty minutes of seeding. The upload volume thus released would allow the many seeders below you to benefit by increasing their share. This might be of critical importance to some of us. Thank you in advance.
!!!PLEASE NOTE: I have no trouble with some seeders accumulating an upload total somewhat greater than mine. It is only when that lead reaches a level of gross exaggeration, as described above, that I object.

This terrific set from Joan and band was exactly what I needed to make my day and mind glow with delight; enjoy. Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, of whose name I am unaware, for the fine source recording. The torrent has applause in balance, talk and some music levels raised, and hoots, etc. removed or reduced. 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.
