Notes Audience recording by Bear. very listenable and enjoyable. see tech notes for flaws
Tech Notes --This is an outstanding audience recording for the era, reportedly recorded by Bear on 7 inch open reels. This recording also sounds nearly too good to have 3 analog generations before the transfer to digital.
--there were quite a few areas of diginoise during the first 2:20 of Bertha, and during portions of BTW, El Paso, and Sugaree. Sound Forge was used to stifle or remove many of them, though some are still somewhat abrasive. These flaws seem to exist on all CD copies of the show.
--splice @ 5:58 in Bird Song
--Playin' cuts in during the minor key jam; a large portion is missing
--a higher gen (or alternate source) aud patch from 1:02 to 2:25 in NFA
--Sound Forge was used for normalization and slight pitch corrections for certain sequences
part of The Music Never Stopped Project 2002
