| Notes | Sources: Master Soundboard Cassette > Cassette > CDR Master Audience Cassette > Sennheiser 441 mics Master Audience Cassette > Nakamichi CM300's + CP4's There are mix problems thru the 1st half of "Minglewood Blues" (disc 1 track1). The Soundboard cuts at the 6:54 mark of "The Music Never Stopped" (disc1 track 9), the Sennheiser 441 audience source is used to provide the final 1:30 of "The Music Never Stopped" as well as Bob's set break announcement.The Soundboard cuts at the 4:35 mark of "Fire on the Mountain" (disc 2 track 6), the Nakamichi CM300's + CP4's audience source provides balance of that track from the 4:35 mark thru the 10:13 mark. During the Drumns/Space sequence, the quality of the Soundboard quickly deteriorates to the point of being unlistenable. Therefore, the balance of the show,disc 3 in its entirety, is provided via the Nakamichi CM300's + CP4's source (which I find _very_ enjoyable). As an attendee of this show, I can attest to the security force's zeal when dealing with the taping community on this night, hence the multiple audience sources used for patching. The taper with the Nakamichi CM300's was evidently "busted" towards the end of the 1st set and missed "The Music Never Stopped" set closer entirely, necessitating the use of Sennheiser 441 audience source. This is a personal favorite of mine and while this copy is not "just exactly perfect",I don't believe you'll find a higher quality, or more complete copy, anywhere.
