if burning to disc, track 15 is a good place to start disc 2 but there are several good options.
that would make disc 1 69:42, and disc 2 45:00.
if disc 2 is track 12-21, disc 1 is 55:48, disc 2 is 58:54
if disc 2 is track 13-21, disc 1 is 62:22, disc 2 is 52:20.
this recording is seamless

notes:
"Mics in hat on head, 35 feet from stage, center floor."

Thanks again to MS for opening up his wonderful vault to JEMS
and also thanks to glasnostrd19 for his help in getting several
recent JEMS projects over the finish line. Much appreciated. (butterking)

*******************************************************************
I'm told there was a set break after driftwood.
if this is true, disc 1 should be 55:48 (tracks 1-11)
and disc 2 would be 58:54 (tracks 12-21).
I was not aware of there being a set break when tracking this up,
and the band didn't mention one, so this is posted as a seamless recording.
I believe it is the whole show, no music, tuning or stage talk got cut out,
no songs were interrupted in the recording.
thanks go out to butterking for sharing these files for me to share with you
and to MS for a fine recording of the Moraz era moody blues. (glasnostrd19)
