Here we have my definition of perfection. Baez is in superb voice and fine humour, the band supplies perfect support, the talk, often lengthy, is alway interesting, and the song selection is brilliant. Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, DIME member unwantedman, 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, trivial really, usual audience interference.
