The db.etree listing suggests that the last song, Broken Bottle, is missing here:

In many cases, there was some crowd noise overlap between tracks i.e. crowd noise at the end of one track repeated at the start of the next track. This has been fixed by zooming in to sample level to remove the overlapping sections. There are still some edits between tracks but the majority of the show now plays through cleanly.

Scott Simpson notes:

This came to me on an unmarked Maxwell XLII tape w/ a xeroxed J-card stating simply Alejandro Escovedo Tractor Tavern, Seattle with trax.

I located the date via internet and realized that it is incomplete. No idea who sent this to me or lineage, equipment et al. Hoping a more complete version of this show exists out there.
