- This is from their early set at Winterhawk on Friday July 20th. The recording is listenable but has quite a bit of wind noise throughout the set. I'm not sure if this is the complete set and I'm also unsure of the track titles of the two instrumentals. The recorder was shut off between songs in order to save tape. Until now I believe only the late set has circulated before. The only part of the late set I have recorded on tape is the encore John Hardy (which conveniently completes the incomplete version from the existing source) so I included it as a bonus.
