I believe this is the first copy of this Matrix source on CD. I looked long and hard for a soundboard for this excellent show, and traded at least five times over two years for supposed Matrix recordings, only to find each time that set I was a Matrix and set II was an audience recording. D'oh! This is -- FINALLY! -- the real deal. Thanks to Rob Harrison for the DAT>CD transfer, and for abandoning his 8-track disco recordings to make time to supply these discs! Whoo-hoo! Let me get a whoop-whoop for my main dog Rob! (God help me.)

Known issues
Airto Moriera plays on Sugaree > West LA in set I, and I Know You Rider > One More Saturday Night on set II. He is sometimes audible and often not.

Intermittent diginoise in Jack Straw has been replaced with a patch from the Matrix (oops I mean audience) source, from 4:24 to 5:18.

Drums and space are seamless, and can be reassembled effortlessly when those DVD burners finally become popular and we're all listening to recordings by mind-travel.
