Another pristine Charles Odell FOB recording from the Birchmere.  This set has circulated before from a different taper named Medford, but that recording appears to be incomplete.  It does provide a brief patch during Fare The Well, however, where Charles' tape had a glitch.  This recording was made with the end of Set II and the encore on tape 1, and the songs have been placed back in order, but some of the encore may have been the end of Set II.  

Enjoy!
