I post this for its relative rarity and would like to thank the donator who wishes to remain anonymous.

The original taper (not the donor) has obviously pressed "pause" at the end of each song, so almost all applause has been cut. The transitions were therefore very sudden so I've applied fades and track separation (not to be confused with 2 second TAO gaps).

The recording is by no means perfect. There are bumps and squeaking chairs during intros, but the music is intact and the crowd well behaved. There is one significant problem with the final track, which I associate with a bad burn somewhere along the line.

Lots of comings and goings on stage, so I've probably not quite got the combinations (or the song titles) right. After the Tom Paxton set I'd say most of the artists are on stage and I've just listed the main performer.
