The tracks are roughly cut together, there are no fades or
cross-fades.
Indexing is erratic, with the previous track running into
the next by a split second. This is common to all tracks
except (7) and (16).
Little Moses (3) from the San Jose concert is available on
several albums. Wanted Man reused it for their own very next
release, Modern Minstrel [T-242].
The San Jose State Event Center is sometimes listed as
"Event Center Arena" in error. It's too small to be an
arena.
Lakes Of Pontchartrain (18) is a traditional song with
"Lakes" always in the plural, though the real place is
just one lake, Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana, north of New
Orleans.
