NOTE: recordings from the two Chico shows had to be "attenuated to prevent overdriving" (on-site in real time by Dr. NO) so the sound levels change dramatically at about 6 minutes into the first set on night 1 (2/17) and remained at those very low levels throught the two night run. Track 1 (Border Ghost) was normalized first and then levels still had to be adjusted for the last part of that track where the attenuation began.
Dr Alan's highlights: D1: T 2, 3, 5, 6
Downstream was hot. A brief level bump at 4:45 on Jeff's guitar. Sounded like the sound guy was tweaking several knobs around this time.

1) Very cool. sort of Dear Prudence meets Mind Left Your Body--VERY cool)
2) Nice spacy Jam
3) (Dedication to Rajiv)
4) sound glitches on original discs from Masterlink

Rajiv was absent. Had to deal with a family emergency.
