That sound you hear is just Keith's giant brass balls clanking together.

yah, that's the one - I'd put the PCRP version of 3/21/70 up against any other era aud recording - it compares well against 8/6/71, and I know that's saying a mouthful. Aud recordings where the audience is audible, yet manage to draw you into the recording rather than make it obnoxious are a beautiful thing.

on Archive, go with the matrix version - one of those 'best of both worlds' kinda things.

If you're listening on Archive.org, check other copies and go with the second option that has the 'audience' tag - it has the NRPS set.

Thanks man - we do seem to land on the same dates quite a bit, don't we ;^)

Great news, man - I give the 'vanilla' audience and the matrix both a regular spin, so another further re-twiddled version would be welcome too
