Notes mixed sbd & fm [2007-08-31]1st part sounds like an aud to these ears! Also, the 1st 5 songs are pitched FAST (esp. Cumberland) and are largely forgettable. Dire Wolf seems 1st song where they are playing together though it is a generic rendition. Cyptical Suite is ok, but sound quality says this one won't get much play compared to better sounding versions about. From China > Rider thru the end its again way fast. Taper being busted is humorous, as Jerry asks the spot light illuminate him, and then the mics (like a periscope) go down. A one time listen at best - poor quality sound and an unexciting perforamnce.
