Billy and the Low Ground is cut on the original recording.

Danny Breaks a string during Cuckoo. Some of the time futzing with the string was edited out of the recording.

Source and Transfer Info:

A very good audience recording that is very clear and present. The taper was probably very close to the band. Fairly good chance the taper had his mics attached to his eye glasses. Unsure of original media, but since there doesn’t appear to be any gaps from cassette flips, guessing it was a DAT.
