Known flaws: Missing the first three songs of the set and the final encore. The beginning of �Clothes Line Saga� cuts in and the end of �Pretty and High� is cut as well.

A great Roches show from the campus of Mt. Holyoke College. The sound is good and the music is as well. It was great to hear �Jerks on the Loose� and Terre turned the �Hallelujah Chorus� into lusty ode to Jesus. Good times. Unfortunately, I missed the first three songs and the final encore, and I ran out of tape just before �Pretty and High� ended. I think embarrassment kept me from digitizing this sooner, but it still sounds good, and I�m sorry for sitting on it for so long. Enjoy.
