This is a very strange show.  The start of Lovelight is clipped, with the recording improving from what is a ragged condition at first.  The sound system has technical difficulties, with an intermittent buzz during portions of Lovelight from a bad electrical connection.  There is some minor static at 9:30 of the first track.   The vocals are very low in the mix, and difficulties with the sound system might explain a lack of singing during the second set, though the jams are very inspired.  The recording includes a group chant between sets, which may include members of the band, crowd, a woman who sounds like Grace Slick, a child, an imposter-drummer, security etc.
