Notes:

1) Fades were used to create a "seamless" (i.e. continuous) AUD track.

2) The transition between discs is seamless.

3) Show notes by Eric F. Wybenga, from his book, "Dead to the Core":

"This show opens with an all-time Sugaree and picks up from there. The second set is sick from start to end, starting with a very clearly sung and played Alabama>Greatest and a Terrapin>Playin' that's nothing short of phenomenal. Jerry's singing in the Terrapin is very sensitive, and the band jams it out fully before going into a Playin' of historic proportions, highlighted by Brent's lush, otherworldly synth runs. The post-Drums cascade is a series of momentum-building, flawless transitions between exciting versions of Uncle John's, Miracle, Bertha, and Good Lovin'. The Casey Jones encore, like the rest of the show, has that little bit more that kicks it into another realm. This one's hot, a must-have."
