! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; ... = fade in/out; # = truncated timing; [ ] = recorded event time. The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the "real" time of the event. So, a timing of [x:xx] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

! R: quite a nice recording. The splices are all tastefully cross-faded.

! P: Overall, I am unmoved. Not sure why. Things aren't perfect, but what is? More relevant, I just don't find myself groovin' in listening to this. Could be "set and setting", and all that, for all I know.

! P: t03 Jimmy takes a solo @ 5:00 and surrounding that's not terrible. He gets one little go-'round, then Jerry's turn. One for you, one for me. One for him. One-two for me. etc.

! s1t07 (1) JG "We're gonna take a break for a little while. We'll be back in a little bit."

! R: s2t02 ITAM some L-channel static.

! P: s2t04 HTC tempo picks up, not on purpose I don't think, around 9:40ish.

! R: s2t06 some digiscratch in DP 5-minute mark that is no fun to hear. Haven't heard that sound in years. It's not too loud, but it's vexatious.

! P: s2t06 DP Jerry has a nice thing he's found, but I worry he overdoes it, over late 6-minute mark and into 7-, now 7:15 he's still doing it, but he's changing the end of the sentence, or rather has added a declining phrase to the tail, now weaving in the DP melody, walking up to that theme he had hit a bunch, but walks away the first pass, then suggests it twice next time around, then three times, in little expanding circles. It's good, but I don't get liftoff from it.

! R s2t07 - I am trying to capture that I think there's what I would call a reverb segue from Dear Prudence -> Deal, but there's a little tape splice through it, and then Deal comes in without much missing.
