Notes:

Complete show: Yes, with assorted fillers.

Musicians: Just Jeff on an unreliable guitar on most of the tracks.

CD quality: Fine copy.

Sound quality: Great radio broadcast. Disc 2 tracks 8 to 11 are of slightly lower quality.

 

Remarks:

A really mellow radio show, with an interview and session. I can’t believe the interviewer: he’s so laid back, he’s horizontal. But this sets the mood right and a comfortable Jeff fools around. Ah, even when the guitar lets him down, Jeff keeps his cool. “How many guitarists does it take to change a light-bulb?” I think he really didn’t want the show to end.

 

How many times have you heard “I shall be released” sung over the telephone? This is AMAZING stuff.
