The celebration of Loudon's 50th birthday; wonderful music and entertanment and a great pleasure to prepare. Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, simonM, for the fine source recording. The torrent has applause in balance, many 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.
Faults: Usual audience interference; also unobtrusive bar sounds, infant sounds. Some hoots, though reduced, remain annoying.
