(Soundboard FLAC)

1998-12-19, 1997-02,03-02, 1994-12-11 
'christmas special' 
the swingin' pig records TSP-CD-250-2

NOTE: I omitted 2 tracks from disk 1 as vanomatic website showed them as officially released songs. 

includes: 
1998-12-19 Dusseldorf: is all of disk 1 (two released tracks*, according to the vanomatic website, have been omitted from this torrent) and tracks 1, 2 of disk 2; 
and filler: 
1997-02,03-02 Belfast: disk 2 tracks 3-10 (i assume, since the description doesn't exactly match the track numbers) 
1994-12-11 Oslo: disk 2 track 11 (as above) 

lineage: i got these files from my copy of a vantrades top 12 shows flac vine dvd. artwork is included. had to rename a couple files on disk 2 -- just added a "c" to the extensions (which were *.fla instead of *.flac). 

comments: i omitted 2 tracks from disk 1 as vanomatic showed them as officially released songs. this is a great show, i first heard it on a video dvd sent me by Alan Gill. This is my first listen to the filler tracks and they sound great! w/ VM apparently in a good mood, thoughtfully introducing his songs. a very nice addition to the Christmas show. this boot polled at #5 of the vantrades top 12 in 2007, and its deserving of its status, imo maybe better than that considering this filler stuff. i think this was torrented here at dime recently, but i guess it was banned as i don't see it listed now. hope i got this right. if so, enjoy!
