SPECIAL PLEA: Some DIME members have enormous speed and/or bandwidth and frequently accumulate twice or more the upload total of the nearest seeder. Please, would any such member remove themself from my torrent after fifteen or maybe thirty minutes of seeding. The upload volume thus released would allow the many seeders below you to benefit by increasing their share. This might be of critical importance to some of us. Thank you in advance.
Terrific performance by all and a great pleasure to prepare. I am particularly partial to Tom Russell's oeuvre, but every song and much of the talk was wonderful. All correction gratefully accepted; companion to the late show previously posted. Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, of whose name I am no longer aware, for the fine source recording. The torrent has applause in balance, all 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 uploads of this performance, if any.
Faults: Nearly all the talk and some of the music was at whisper level or lower. The (sometimes enormous) level raising necessary produced hiss, occasionally prominent. This must have been a dinner show for occasionally we hear plate and cutlery sounds. Minor usual audience interference. Despite all the foregoing, the show is highly listenable and a great pleasure.
