Notes:

This recording found it's way to me from a long time buddy/collector via a portable HD. The HD contains a good 50-75 shows from Wolf Trap from about 2010 - 2013 I have found NONE of these to be in circulation, nor have I found many to have been recorded via any other source. So I would regard these as very unique.

I can conclude that almost all of these recordings (if not all) were recorded via ALD. They are all Mono, and many of the recordings have various stages of Clipping. It's not clear if the clipping is only in the copies I received or are on the original files (which I had no access to) Without overly enhancing or destroying the recordings, I have done the best I could to master them and put them out. I would welcome any input on the history of these recordings or anything else that someone could enlighten me on their origin.

Known issues:

I had to removed a short portion (about 15 seconds) of 'From A Pebble' due to an almost full signal drop out.

The recording had a odd recording (I think Studio) of 'Might Have Beens' during the Encore applause. I removed this, as it didn't make any sense to have played his own music on the PA system during the encore wait.

Other:

I will admit, that this was a bit more of a challenge to track, as I am only a very casual (radio play) fan of Jethro Tull / Ian Anderson. I would contend that Anderson is a bit 'out there' sometimes, and for the casual ear, it becomes unclear sometimes when songs end and when others begin. Did my best.
