Notes:
- Rob accidentally taped over set 2 of his master eight months later and no
known clones survived. Ed seeded his master cassette in May of 2004 so I
compiled this release shortly thereafter of Rob's set 1 and Ed's set 2. Ed's
tape cuts off Alone at 12:39, and cuts in to Trust In Trust, so I used an
unknown generation purported SBD cassette from Dan Cotton to restore the last
two minutes of "Alone" and the first 43 seconds of "Trust In Trust". No music
is missing but the splices are fairly obvious.
- Some level fluctuations early on in d1t01, minor warbling late in d2t02 and
early in d2t03. Minor channel weirdness at 1:13, 2:32 of d3t05. Tape stopped
between Mountain Cry and Mother Funker - skip at 7:57 during applause; tape
stopped after Mother Funker - fade out/in ~11:10.
- Earliest known performances of of "What's For Breakfast", "I Have My Moments",
"The Best Part" and "Mountain Cry".
- Chris Theberge may also sit in on tracks 1, 3 and 4 of disc 2 (it doesn't seem
likely he'd leave in mid-jam) but if he does, he's inaudible.
