notes:

Two additional horn players joined the band onstage at various points throughout the show. I am not sure who they were, nor do I remember exactly the tunes on which they played...

*	I hear three snits in the left channel: d1t05 1:29, d2t02 :54, d2t04 1:02 - 1:04. I have no idea what caused these; the irregularities are all on the master DATs. Any input as to possible causes/remedies is more than welcome (macdaddy_47 AT hotmail DOT com).

**	disc one requires an 80 minute disc to be burned as tracked here. If this is a problem, and you MUST have a 74 minute (Redbook compliant) disc, simply start disc one with d1t02 (and skip the intro).

***	The show ran over two hours and twenty minutes, straight through (except the final encore break), so my two hour tape was not going to go the distance. After d2t03, I switched tapes - an hour and fifty-two minutes (and thirty-one seconds) deep into the recording. In doing so, I missed a bit of anti-Bush spiel, and a few of the opening measures of d2t04 (that was actually just the congas). The first sounds I recorded on tape two are the congas playing as d2t04 begins... I cut the remaining spiel at the end of tape one (the bulk of which I was missing anyway by changing tapes), crossfed the crowd (now at the end of tape one) with the first five seconds of congas (the beginning of tape two), and effectively spliced the two tapes together.

Do NOT sell this recording in any shape or form. This source may be distributed freely; please make copies and spread the music - it is perfectly legal to do so, and it is also encouraged. Just remember that selling this, in part or in whole, is absolutely illegal!
