NOTES:
----------
This is the band's second time at Jazz Fest.

This is a decent recording but it has some minor flaws.

It's got some analog history, so there is a little tape hiss, but it's not bad.

There is a split second drop out during DIDO.

This show should not be confused with the 05/06/96 State Palace Theatre show that MTV recorded for their "Crashing The Quarter" special.

This show originally clocked in at 80:07. I removed 11 seconds of crowd noise before Dave speaks during the intro (before DIDO) so it would fit onto 1 CD.

***SEE NOTES BELOW***

These rare older shows have been collected and converted through a collaborative effort to get them into circulation. Sometimes these shows do not have the best sound quality (and maybe that's why they aren't circulated much to begin with), but people should have access to them.

Thanks to Andy Svenson for the CD source used for this conversion.

UPDATE by Henry Hart on 3.8.07:
This show had virtually no recorded audio on the left channel, so I copied the right channel over for a mono sound then normalized to 100%, cut everything above 12kHz, made a small speed/pitch adjustment, made a small fade out and retracked. This show now does not fit on 1 cd after the speed/pitch adjustment. Sorry Adam.
