Notes:

What a night. Great performance BUT I forgot to take my stealth mics so I had to use the internals and then I somehow managed to pause the recording for around 5 minutes, hence the missing start of "Come Healing".

The Zoom, when handheld, is prone to some unwanted noise from handling it, I've attenuated this as much as I can without affecting the music.

Despite the setbacks it's turned out to be a pretty decent recording.

I think I spotted a couple of other tapers so maybe the missing bit will turn up eventually.
