This was recorded by a guy named "Island", he mostly taped shows on VHS-C
type video, but after meeting me, and collecting audio tapes, he was inspired to bring an audio deck to this show.
Good thing too, because he was too close and the audio was very distorted on
the video, so I dubbed this sound to sync to the video.
there is 25 minutes of video total, but I will need to do a new transfer before it can be shared. It will be posted to youtube with the rest of Island's video that I have copied from his masters.

I can't explain why the audio is so clear other than this was festival
Seating and he was very close. I don't think it was on a high quality deck or
mics but still sounds excellent.
I doubt this recording has ever been circulated before.


Enjoy
