Release Notes:

There were lots of stops and starts to be found in the 'audience' source tape, as you'll hear. Many of the transitions have been smoothed as best as possible, with an effort not to lose any of the content.

Some overlap containing radio talk in the sources' transitions having been edited out here. The real-time transition between "A Apolitical Blues" and "Cold, Cold, Cold" was actually a few seconds longer and contained a bit more applause, which was unfortunately accompanied by radio talk. In order to make this transition sound smoother between the two very different-sounding sources, the applause/talk was removed. You won't miss it... (Apologies and thankyous to the DJs.)

Thanks so much to all involved in the recording and preservation of this excellent and historic evening!
