Comments: Very good/excellent audience recording.  Notes from the seeder: cmc34->psp3->sbm1->d100
Flac.  Due to "technical complications" (read: bonehead error), most of Celebration Summer is from a second, anonymous source.  Tis was a *phenomenal* show.  lots of reworked arrangements, crowd interaction, and... "those moments".

This was recorded from the balcony of the Bluebird.  It was empty except for my mics.  So there is no chit chat but  there is a constant noise that I think might be an overhead vent or fan.  Mark plays and sings really quite most of the time as well so it is what it is.  Still worth a listen if your a fan of his. Thanks to http://www.sadreminders.com/ for the tracklist.
