* cassette change during this song - some of the sax solo is missing but it's tightly spliced and not very noticeable

Any previous copies of this source were from an analog mix. This is the first time this has been digitally mixed directly from the 4 channel raw AIFF files [2007].

I thought about waiting until Christmas to upload this show since it has a Christmas song on it, but stuff is piling up on the hard drives and I have to start catching up! So now you can get this one ready to listen to during your entire holiday season!

The opener for this show was The Screaming Sirens and their set will be seeded separately (whenever I can finish it).
