Notes from the taper:
In the first set, very near the end, both decks shut down. I wasn't near them at the time, so the set ends abruptly in the recording, before the end of the last song.
In the second set, just before the beginning, a member of the audience fainted just a few feet from where I was set up to record. I went over to her and watched as 2 people who seemed to know her got her to regain consiousness and get up and walk to a table. I was so concerned about her well-being that I waited until she was up and walking before returning to the recorders. Unfortunately, the set had begun and I only realized that I hadn't hit the record button after her recovery. This resulted in the 1st minute or so of the 1st song not being recorded :( Wish it were otherwise, but it is what it is :)
