Yeah, when I listened to this, I thought, "this sounds as though someone's playing this for a crowd--and someone's recording it." The muddiness of it is disappointing--especially considering we'll probably never get an official (CD) release of the entire set.

Don't be so sure - there are moves afoot but too early to be specific
