track 3 and 4 were split apart using Audacity

There is a strange 'repeat' of the intro fanfare to Montana. I couldn't be sure if it was just repeated music, or an actual cut in the tape with a band start/stop (like on Stage vol.2), so I left it alone. I suspect it *is* a repeat across a tape dub flip, so you adventurous types may want to edit that part together for your listening. Or not.

This is a really nifty show, with several song premieres and different arrangements. The sound quality is very nice, but a bit 'boomy' at times. The whole band comes through clearly though, and plays very well. There is a long story explaining the title of 'Duprees Paradise' which leads to some great funky jams and solos from Jeff and Frank.
