I think it is time that you come clean and confirm that the three "videos" that you created and uploaded to youtube were indeed based on the superb bootleg audio of the 1987 WNEW Folkfest broadcast, which is In My Honest Opinion one of the very best available
But you should also admit that you misattributed the date to March 8th 1987 when that FM broadcast was it seems actually on 13 September
I'll admit now to being just as bad a I see that I devised some CD artwork (which I will attach) and made a typo so that my front insert claims it was September 23rd a day Gord was in California apparerntly!
I have compared your three soundtracks with the corresponding mp3s of the bootleg set and it is clear that they are the same particularly Gord's rare song title intro and Terry's licks at ghe end of EOM and an exclamation by Gord at the end if Shadows (which just as at the recent Tarrytown NY concert was the second part of a medley with Spanish Moss)
Whatever the acoustic East Of Midnight has long been one of my favourite "Recordings Of Independant Origin" so much so that it occupies a deserved place in my personal list of "Extra Rare" items and might well be included in my planned 80 minute "Desert Island Disc" CD collection.
