notes:
from master or at worst first gen cassette recording made onstage.
I did this transfer 4 years ago and kept meaning to seed it. Many more to follow.
I believe Chris Trent was responsible for the titles and notes.

I also have an uncirculated complete audience recording of this concert. I know of at least one other audience recording. There is also a 90 minute soundboard of the 1st part of this concert. I have that on cassette (unknown gen or quality). Does anyone have a copy of that they could seed?
