Another band that I recorded and about which I know very little.  Thank you setlist.fm for the obvious help.  Perhaps my recording is a rarity, or an alternate, or if a different transfer is already in circulation. Please let me know about this situation and also what to make of t35.  This fair recording has applause in balance and whistles, hoots, etc. removed or reduced. This is a fresh transfer from my master and therefore will differ from previous uploads of this performance, if any.

Faults: Audience interference.

Notes:
-After IDSID, MS "I bet you didn't know I can play guitar.  Well I can't.  It was a prop.  But I can play one note pretty well".  He then notices a few people in the very back of the venue and invites them to move closer, "security well let you come down".
-Agter band intros, MS invites a friend, who's name he cannot remember, backstage after the show.
-MS introduces  Departure as "Kind of a song of loss and a song of passage, and tonight we're sending it out to Joe".
-The unlisted track  before ITEOTWAWKI is a snippet of Fleetwood Mac's 'Landslide'
-I don't often opine on the bands performances but there seemed to be a good deal of positive energy this night.
-runs slow (2% by my ear)

Grade: A
-very nice recording albeit a boomy venue.
