For those who like trivia there is a backstory to this recording. Commercial McGarrigle bootlegs are very rare but this show was
released by Yellow Dog Records in 1998 together with some songs purporting to come from "St Sawyer" NYC 1996.11.15 (if the date is
correct this was actually Symphony Space, NYC). What we have here is the same source tape as the bootleg but if this is not the master
tape it is certainly closer to the master. Unfortunately there were a lot of mic cable connection problems in one channel which
suggested a stereo recording (which is what the boot maintains) but close listening and analysis of the waveform revealed that the
channels were virtually indistinguishable so I replaced faulty sections in one channel with a clone of the other channel.
The results are more than acceptable though the quality of the recording leaves much to be desired.
