Subject: two shows?
Discs one and two sound very different. The recording quality is noticably different, and that, combined with the fact that "All I Want" appears on both discs makes me strongly suspect that we have here two different shows from two different sources here.

Disc one is outstanding! Crystal clear recording, and a fine, fun, enthusiastic performance. Disc two is a good, but not great, recording. It's clearly a soundboard, but I suspect that there's cassette gererations in its ancestry as well. It's a little muddy when compared to disc one. Also, the tracking is very poorly done on d2. Still, the performance is, once again, very fine, so it's hard to complain too much.

Susie didn't seem to be present (i.e. no violin), which is too bad, but I still like the somewhat rockier sound they get with just guitars and, er, whatever else they might have been playing. John and Sally were in fine voice, and everyone was obviously having a good time. Overall, I really like this show (or these shows) a lot, despite the fairly minor problems with disc two. Well worth the download, IMO.
