this is ethan alpert's tape.  A sick one it is!  i deserve blame about the tiny cut in d's diner during the intro...i told ethan thered be no way he'd need a 3 hour tape...and then the band proceeded to play their longest show ever (2 hours 45 minutes!)  So sorry about that.  You can barely notice it, i promise.  I dont think ethan would mind me torrenting over here....i think he only put this up on CO tapers.org and it didnt stay up long...lets give this one a long life it deserves!
