Taper's Comments: The levels are a bit low and with the festive gala crowd, there's a fair amount of background chatter. A remaster would be welcomed by me if someone wants to try to fix this. As is, however, it's very listenable. I have most of the show on HD video and will upload a video torrent soon.
