NOTES
Recorded off the radio by Richard Russell.

This performance was plagued by a number of dropouts and technical glitches that were inherent in both the FM broadcast and the web stream.

The broadcast of the performance began abruptly after about 70 seconds of dead air.

I made these edits:
* There was a one-third-second dropout, followed a moment later by a 0.7-second dropout, followed about two seconds later by a 5-second dropout, all beginning at about 9 minutes into Track 2; I closed up each dropout;
* A couple of minutes later, there were two more dropouts for a total of nearly 10 seconds of silence; I removed the entire section;
* I closed up a one-third-second dropout at 6 seconds into Track 3;
* I removed an 86-second station break at the beginning of Track 4; and
* I closed up a 1-second at 9:29 into Track 4.
