  1. Wow! What a great find. And so cool to have the whole show, rather than just the Old in the Way set, for example. Great group of artists, all playing great tunes and havin' fun together. Very Cool. Thanks for sharing this rare historic event.

  2. Hey BBKron. I thought is was pretty cool. Found another source that was less complete but this had more songs and was 320k and the other was like 198 or something like that. Thanks for coming back for a visit. By the way I like your blog as well.
