I wasn't planning to make a serious recording of this show, I was just trying out my new Tascam digital recorder.  But I've seen no other copies, so here this is, warts and all.  First ten minutes, I placed the Tascam right in front of the soundboard.  Then I realized that it was much less windy up against the stage, and the sound there was pretty decent - there were fill speakers aimed right at the Rail Dancers, how cool, thanks!  The volume changed a lot there, and there is lots of chatter and still plenty of wind noise - I took down some of the worst gusts...  the band plays very well, and the three songs with Jesse McReynolds and his crew were sweet!  Hang in through the first ten minutes, the sound gets a lot better... Enjoy!  Peter T.
