Note: There are a number of glitches in this recording that were inherent in the broadcast. They sound something like a skip in the song, or where a CD would get stuck and keep repeating a note. The glitch can be heard in several places, including about 2:21 into the first track, several times during Track 20... and likely many more places.

The broadcast began earlier than I was expecting. I'm not sure how much I missed... The broadcast was slated to run from 7-10 p.m., which is what was recorded here. (The original 3-plus-hour broadcast was edited down to 111 minutes).

Most station IDs and fund-raising chatter have been removed. In addition, canned music that was played during stage breaks was also removed. All in all, about 69-70 minutes was edited out, including:

2:32 station break removed at 5:32 into Track 5
42-second station ID removed at 5:58 into Track 5
3:39 station ID and canned music removed at 3:29 into Track 6 (after the music)
22-second station id removed at 7:29 into Track 9 (with a crossfade applied)
25-second station id removed at 1:03 into Track 10.
52-second station id removed at 1:28 into Track 10.
36:20 of station IDs, talk and canned music removed after Track 12. Track 13 fades in (as canned music fades down)
15:25 removed afer Big Sam (Track 18)
