As you can see above there are some minor issues, but all in all the sound quality 
is good and I think it's an enjoyable listen. Although I'm probably a bit biased 
as I was there in person. I received this as two audio discs straight from the taper 
himself. There was no "cut-off point" for splitting the recording into two discs and 
I decided to leave it that way, so it's up to you to decide where you want to split it. 
EAC logs are included.
