McNamara" Subject: RE: The Dowie Dens of Yarrow I just finished listening to this fantastic concert. I could go on and on, there are so many great moments. So many great cuts from Hissing of Summer Lawns ... the combo of Coyote with Don Juan's Reckless Daughter ... Plus I love that she still had Love or Money in her set list. Plus this concert was performed on my 18th birthday. Why wasn't I there???? I probably went to see Tull for the 20th time. Thanks so much Richard! This one is definitely a keeper. :-) Sue Susan Tierney McNamara email: sem8@cornell.edu - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Richard Flynn Sent: Saturday, January 04, 2014 12:48 AM To: 'Richard Flynn'; 'Shari Eaton' Cc: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com; 'joni' Subject: RE: The Dowie Dens of Yarrow You can download the 1976-02-16 Philadelphia Spectrum show here. 1.05 GB http://alturl.com/e2urh - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Richard Flynn Sent: Friday, January 03, 2014 6:58 PM To: Shari Eaton Cc: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com; joni Subject: Re: The Dowie Dens of Yarrow If you want it, I can upload to Hightail and send a download link to the Spectrum show. It would be in .wav and slightly over 1 gigabyte in size. You also might find the quality of this audience recording somewhat better. YouTube audio is heavily compressed. I have tested my copy and it is not derived from .mp3 If I were to upload it, it would take me a couple of hours, and it would be a large download, which you could burn to 2 CDs.
