Here are both sets from the 1986 Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver's Bluegrass Festival, right about the middle of the band's career.  The recording is, as usual, excellent.  A small period of silence before My Saro Jane suggests a tape flip, but the timing isn't quite right and there's no obvious reason for it.  No music seems to be lost, though.  No other flaws noted.

Enjoy!
