Donnie Loeffler's notes:  As far as I know , this source is uncirculated?  I got this in the early 90s on a DAT trade.  The glitches were on my tape.  I canâ€™t recall who I got the tape from and I donâ€™t know the exact lineage, but my notes were Sennhieser 421â€™s with a 20 foot spread at the â€œrailâ€ in the back of the taperâ€™s section.  No doubt, this is a early DAT source as in 1991 most folks were not using DAT, and the Casio DA-7 was really the 1st â€œcommercial portable DATâ€ machine on the market.  What we get is a really nice sound that resembles a old school FM broadcast, nice sweet sound from the PA.  Caveats are:  some digital glitches in the opening of China Cat Sunflower, and the low level on the right channel on Baby Blue.  Also, the second set can be seamed as I always leave enough room to mend the cut in post â€¦ we really didnâ€™t have that kind of DAW stuff in 1995 .  If anyone has a better source with out glitches PLEASE put into circulation !  Great Show, Great Recording!

Enjoy!
