 ~ NOTES by dug - May 6, 2016 ~
* this improvisation centres around a melody we find popping up later in MMW's shows: On April 14/2000 they open an acoustic show with a loose working of this melody but it's underdeveloped and never heard from again; the song first debuted in full on April 25/2007 as part of a short acoustic tour. A version of the song from that tour was later released on the 2012 live acoustic album Free Magic with the following title: Ballade In C Minor, 'Vergessene Seelen'. The song was then subsequently played on the Fall '12 and Spring '13 acoustic tours in support of the album. 'Vergessene Seelen' translates to "Forgotten Souls", so I labeled this improvisation 'Vergessene Improv' -- the forgotten improv. From 3:50-6:45 of the track is kind of a lead-in to the 'Vergessene' melody which comes in strong at that point and is the main theme for the following 6min or so.

+ "Mystery Gus" melody first introduced just past the 9min mark and solidified @10:05 of this track, might be from a real song but the only other place I've identified the melody is during the band's 4 instrumental performances of the Combustication tune 'Whatever Happened to Gus' in early 1999 (1/14, 1/16, 3/20 & 3/23) -- see The Shack Project 1999 page for links to the shows:

Notes:
----------
~	There is some debate as to what the correct date for this
	show is. The DAT I recieved for this show was labeled 5/29/94.
	Rumor has it that this show might be 5/24/94.
~	There is some clipping on this show in the first 30-40 seconds.
	No edits were done in these spots.
~	There was a split second dropout at 1:08 in the Improv track (d1t01)
	along with a couple millisecond spots of diginoise, all in the
	right channel.  0.100 seconds of audio from the left channel
	was cut and paste into these spots to clean these errors.
~	There was a 0.060 second dropout in the right channel of the
	Improv track (d1t01) at 1:49.  0.065 seconds of audio from the left
	channel was cut and paste to clean this error.
~	There was a 0.020 second dropout at 2:29 in the right channel of
	d1t01 Improv track.  0.030 seconds of audio from the left channel
	was cut and paste to fix this error.
~	There are two dropouts at 2:55 and 2:56 in the d1t01 Improv track
	that are in both channels.  These are unfixable, but I was able
	to smooth them out.
~	There are also dropout/diginoise spots in both channels at 4:46
	and 5:12 in the d1t01 Improv track that are also unfixable.
~	There is a 0.015 second dropout in We're So Happy that was unfixable
	because it is in both channels.
~	There was a split second spot of diginoise at 9:14 in the We're So
	Happy > FAITU track that was only in the right channel.  0.100
	seconds of audio from the left channel was cut and paste to fix
	this errored spot.
~	There was a split second spot of diginoise at 16:24 in the Improv
	after Syeeda's.  I patched the audio to fix the error.
