Notes:
Mike originally sent me this show via B&P on CDR's back in March 1999 (I met him at the show
and asked if he could send me a copy).  Four years later I contacted him to see if he had 
any plans to circulate the show in lossless format - hoping that he would seed it without DAE 
in the lineage.  He responded that he didn't have time to take a look at it, but that he
would send me clones of his tapes and I could go ahead and seed them.  When I reveived my 
clones in April 2003, I immediately noticed that the set 2 tape had pops and dropouts 
starting toward the end of Futch's solo.  Hoping it was just a bad clone, I emailed him to 
see what he could find.  Mike informed me:

"not a problem with the deck, problem with the tape.  I hoped it had come through 
clean ( I had to try taping it about 10 times ...).  I guess it didn't work."

So, set 1 was transferred without DAE, and set 2 used DAE since my 4 year old discs 
didn't have the problems that the master tape did. Equipment below.
