NoteAcoustic William Blake tribute.
Volume is a little low, but quality is decent. The songs are much louder than when Patti is talking, so you may have to play volume police while listening.
There are a few tiny skips/blips on a couple tracks. You don't actually miss anything, it's just annoying. If it weren't for these small defects, I'd rate this show an A-. This is probably a stealth recording.
