pasted in d2t04, To Lay me Down, from gd1981-05-11.nak300.friend.andrewf.102086.flac16

* busted by Healy’s goons just before drums and I had to run and tape after drums from behind
the stage.

tracking notes:
The Silberman source is missing To Lay Me Down. I pasted it in from the Friend-andrewf source and
and renumbered the last two tracks of disc 2. The fit is actually pretty smooth and you’ll have to
be paying attention to notice. The addition of the patch required me to generate a new ffp. All
checksums but d2t04 will match the ffp checksums listed in the data base for the silberman source.
The ffp checksums for d2t04 will match the andrewf source.
