To reduce the effect of the percussive sub-bass prominent at these venues, I used the low-cut filter setting on the battery box. However, the switch is faulty and only the right-hand channel was captured. My apologies for a compromised offering.

Mastering:
The left-hand channel is a copy of the right.

Comment:
This was a showcase of both of Richard's acoustic and electric performances; the best of both you might say.
The musicians available for the electric set made it fitting for them to perform songs from the era they jointly recorded them.
