In the hopes of clearing up just one bit of
confusion -- the disc set I weeded of
the audience recording of the 12/30/05
show (I believe the first to be offered
on babel-list) _did_ have Patti's
post-"Godspeed" chatter included on disc 1
rather than disc 2 -- on purpose.
I personally made that editorial decision
and take the heat for the heartache it
may have caused.
I realize that this flies counter to the
original torrent's organization, and the
liners later offered on that same torrent,
but the original separation was just
(IMHO) a bad decision.
The original separation seemed to be driven
by nothing more than an impulse to follow
the "purity" of the Easter setlist, and
that was outweighed by how the playback
suffered as a result (IMHO). I know it's
just some two-minute chatter, but the
placement made a big difference.
No one ever wrote me to say "Yo! Where's
Privilege?!", or to complain about 2-second
gaps, so I assume that every copy I sent
out was right with God as far as those
two issues are concerned.
