Terrific performance well captured, especially considering the era - Here we have the perfectly voiced but highly political Baez; always interesting - 

Thanks and appreciation are owed the recordist, of whose name I am unaware, for the fine source recording - The torrent has applause in balance, and hoots, etc. removed or reduced - It is a fresh transfer from my copy and therefore will differ from previous versions of this performance, if any.

Faults: See note re t13, 34 - Minor usual audience interference, relatively frequent recording interference - The pausing of the recorder resulted in some none to very brief applause segments.
