Corrected the track order on disc 3. EV had it misnumbered/tracked. A rather incongruous compilation but very enjoyable considering  you don't often see the first two shows. EV did a nice job in my opinion on brightening up the recordings. Not too bright , thankfully. It's a pity the complete tape from Seattle hasn't seen the light of day because it's a much better sounding recording than the following night.  Disc 3 is interesting but let's face it, discs 1 and 2 are the tenderloin here.
