Taper Notes:

View NotesMaster Tape appears to suffer from some deterioration, which manifests itself as some faint clicking/popping during quiet passages.  There are also a few (analog) dropouts during the second set.  But, this is, imho, such a fine audience recording that it's worth getting into circulation nonetheless.  Download a track or 2 and make up your own mind.  Seeded to etree on 11-2-00 by [email protected]
