note: the entire recording is approximately 81 minutes & 12 seconds long– if you think you can overburn that onto 1 cd, be my guest.  Most of the applause between the main set and the 1st encore is cut due to a minidisc swap though, so it won’t be seamless.

There are no words that could do this show, this experience, justice.  But thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone involved.  Except for maybe the screaming hyena woman in front of me.
