Taper Notes:

View NotesSBD dead air trimmed out.

Ramble On Rose AUD-only.

Jim Vita's recording (#153869 via Scott Clugston and Charlie Miller) patches 2:35 of Drums in the AUD source.

SBD 9-second cut during Playing In The Band jam and 10 second cut at the Playing Reprise > Stella Blue transition now patched.

Soundboard levels can sound a little hot or distorted at times but still pretty nice overall.

Glitches
- Slight digital glitch removed in Alabama at ~ 1:20. 
- Slight Digital Glitch removed just before last verse of Promised
- Friend of the Devil is cut due to somebody kicking cords
- One quick digital buzz glitch removed in Birdsong (about 1/10 second) at 6:41
