Apologies for the CD generations, but this fantastic quality.  I know this is as good a copy of the show that exists other than the taper\'s and the guy I got it from, who could not provide data copies.  

Please leave your torrents open as long as you can.

Thanks and enjoy,

Materting notes: The early show and tracks 1-12 from the late show were recorded with the mikes aimed directly into a loudspeaker; the subsequent tracks were acoustic, with mikes aimed at Dan\'s left side.  The electric tracks are mixed together to produce a near-mono result; the acoustic tracks are stereo and have additional limiting to mitigate audience.
A different mastering of this recording has also been released by the taper.
