CD1:

1. Hard to Handle 5:28 

2. Beat It On Down The Line 2:49

5. /China Cat Sunflower-> 5:25  

6. Doin' That Rag 6:53

7. It's A Sin 4:43

8. /Lovelight (cut @ 16:00) 27:34


total time: 68:29



CD2: 

1. /Sitting On Top of the World 2:44 

2. Cryptical Envelopment-> 1:56

3. The Other One-> 7:55

4. Cryptical Reprise-> 11:10 

5. Dark Star-> 20:21 

6. St. Stephen-> 5:30 

7. The Eleven/ (cut @ 0:34) 3:31 


total time: 53:19



the cuts at the beginnings of tracks omit only a few notes; the taper was
 pleasantly quick on the "Start" button.  the cut in "Lovelight" appears 
minimal.  the cut in "The Eleven" is substantial, with a segment from the 
third line of the "William Tell Bridge" (tracked with "The Eleven") to the 
transition to the second (11/8, key of "A") theme missing; as much as three 
to four minutes could be missing here. The end of "The Eleven" fades out; 
this fade was present on the source discs.  the entire segments from d1t5-d1t7 and d2t1-the cut at 0:34 of "The Eleven" are contiguous, with no start/stops of the recorder.

the edits to the "fixed" version are confined to removal of tape start/stop pops between tracks and/or at tape edits; no music or audience noise was removed.
