SBD dead air trimmed out. Ramble On Rose AUD-only. Jim Vita's recording (#153869 via Scott Clugston and Charlie Miller) patches 2:35 of Drums in the AUD source. SBD 9-second cut during Playing In The Band jam and 10 second cut at the Playing Reprise > Stella Blue transition now patched. Soundboard levels can sound a little hot or distorted at times but still pretty nice overall.

- Checked for SBE's - Unusually warm and spectacular recording for NAK 300 microphones - Somewhat chatty audience tape - Note the scholar who yells Black Peter as Jerry does the soft intro for Stella Blue (at the end of Playin in the Band reprise) Glitches - Slight digital glitch removed in Alabama at ~ 1:20. - Slight Digital Glitch removed just before last verse of Promised - Friend of the Devil is cut due to somebody kicking cords - One quick digital buzz glitch removed in Birdsong (about 1/10 second) at 6:41
