Notes from info file:
I've got two different versions of this show in differing quality. I can tell its different versions based on the coughing and laughter the taper picked up. Unfortunately there are flaws with each copy and I'm hoping that someone more technically adept than I can somehow merge them and create one solid copy. This version (which I've labeled Version 2) the show is complete, but there are gaps. With version 1, there are no gaps, but there's a skip near the end of "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and a static skip in "Sinaloa Cowboys". In terms of sound quality, version 1 has the vocals and his voice on the raps is out front more, while on version 2, the overall sound is a little more bassy and his between song raps seem more distant. But everyone has different opinions on these matter. When ripping this one with EAC, it would freeze up partway through "Promised Land" when ripping the second disc as a whole, but the disc would play fine. So I ripped the entire second disc, sans "Promised Land" and then ripped "Jungeland" on its own - hence the log files (disc 1, disc 2a, and disc 2b). The show itself was great. It included two original Joad-tour-only rarities - "Pilgrim in the Temple of Love" and "There Will Never Be Another For Me But You". Plus it included a rare outing of "Highway Patrolman". Solid performances throughout the show. Listening to it reminded me of how great it was to be there that night. These are also the first torrents I've uploaded (after years of being a leech), so forgive me if there's any info I'm missing and I'm sorry I don't know how to add MP3 samples. I've included the EAC logs, but forgot to do logs for the FLAC encoding on TLH.
