Notes:
The first song begins in progress. After a few seconds of getting the recording rig up and running, this sounds nice and clear.  The unidentified tapers can be heard periodically on the recording. (Anyone recognize them?).  Tape flip occurred after 'Let Me Go,' but they missed several minutes of 'Alligator Moon', which also begins in progress. This is not SHN ID 132896, which is noted as being 44 minutes long and less complete than this. I do not have that source to compare, but this source runs 55:10. It is possible that source traces back to the same master or possibly this source. I don't have it so I'm unable to compare.  If you appreciate Hunter & Comfort, this is a strong performance, that you are sure to enjoy. They were openers for The Jerry Garcia Band. This source is new to circulation as of January 2021 - Alan
