And We Bid You Goodnight 2:06 Total time: 70:33 I am indebted to Art Cohen for providing this fine show. Notes: There is a qualitative change in the sound between "Ramble On Rose" and "Me And My Uncle"; the first part of the show is very crisp and clear, while the latter part is of higher gen, with more bass. This is consistent with the description in Taper's Compendium of circulating copies of this show. Known flaws: There are some mix problems in "Promised Land", and a bit of distortion in a few places, particularly in "Deal". There is a brief dropout at 2:39 in "Greatest Story". There is a cut @ 11:46 in "Here Comes Sunshine". If you have a better copy of this show, please consider seeding it to the etree. ---- Greg Hamilton (gshamilton@home.com)
