Tapers notes:
Merle , of course is a God. Any fan of Merle or Bake would be a foole to pass this tape up. Not perfect. Merle doesn't play real loud and draws a rowdy audience
which is a a tough combo to tape. The sharp, close to the taper, end of song and between song clapping was a bit much.
But I gave those small sections a light dusting with Audio Restoration
click (sharp clap) removal and it turned out pretty awesome . A highdesert 2 thumbs up on this one! Get a designated driver and enjoy!
