Tchefunkta to end of show w/ Brian Segar on guitar and Jeff Sipe on percussion.

This show circulated on DAT in the late 1990s / early 2000s but does not appear to have been converted to SHN or FLAC and circulated.  Thanks to Mr. Zeau for the DAT.

A LOUD recording that frequently hits -0dB.  It sounds (and looks) like there was a limiter in place, probably when the initial recording was made, so the audio is not broken up or badly distorted, except occasionally the vocals when introducing songs or talking to the crowd.  Otherwise the audio holds together very well.  Still, this might not be the best recording for headphones.  But it'll sound great in the open air or in your car.

A few digi-snits removed, here and there, and a small discontinuity cross faded at about 7 minutes into Layin' In The Cut.  A single beat is missing.  Betcha wouldn't notice if I didn't mention it.

Enjoy!
