Recorded by Easy Ed.

I, Easy Ed, was at the show with my PCM digital recorder connected to the soundboard - this is not a multigenerational copy received in trade. This is my master soundboard PCM.

I had made a different, non-digital transfer of this show back in '97 0r '98 which was lightly circulated. In 2001 I decided to retransfer it totally in the digital domain, as outlined above.


The following could possibly be a something resembling a close approximation of the tracklist. It is GUARANTEED not to be accurate - this is the tracklist from the orignal transfer, not the re-transfer. I have total confidence that any corrections that need to be made will be offered. The number of tracks listed below doesn't match what I extracted from the re-transfer.

The disc titled "Mahima" features Debashish and Bob together and I like it very much:
