Another pristine FOB recording from Charles, the first of two nights at the Birchmere.  Some song titles corrected from the setlist based on the circulating Beyer 260 version, which is a fine recording but has been made too loud (peaks at -4 dB RMS).  

Because of the way the recording is split on the two cassette tapes, there several fades in and out, but no music is missing. 

Enjoy!
