J-Card Comment Tree Administrator Notes: Here is Christopher Small's original message about the sound quality-

This is an audience recording, probably from some place in the back. There is obvious crowd noise (whoops, occasional clapping along, talking), as well as some other harder-to-pin-down noise (someone crumping up a potato chip bag?). There were fireworks during the show, which are audible, and elicited more whoops. The source disc has some noticeable jumps between songs, and some between-song discontinuities, as if it had been dubbed TAO at some point.

On the copy I am distributing I edited out the blank space, but could do nothing about the discontinuities. The last song (Sugar Mountain, probably an encore) was missing the first bit; I faded it in, instead of having it start abruptly.

There is digital cruft (sounds like the CD is skipping) on at least a couple of songs. I tried ripping the songs multiple times, with different software (EAC and CDex), on different drives (Philips and Lite-On), with no luck.

The problems include Cortez at 2'22", Cortez between 4'00" and 4'10", and Powderfinger from 2'24" to 2'27".

Even given all this, the show is quite listenable and enjoyable.

This rare show is brought to you thanks to Trev Bland, Also, thanks to Steve Froy and Christopher Small.
