Re: ISO info on Patti 10/29/97 recording



anybody have any alternate version of the 10/29/97 webcast?

(I already have the one in circulation, and the audience version.  If
there's an alternte webcast version out there I'd love to get it, so I
can patch the audience recording with the best version of the webcast.)
