I did two albums in the same show because I had missed the previous week's show. I messed up in the playback of Who's Next; "The Song Is Over" should come before "Getting In Tune." Other than that, it was a good show. My final show will be on May 29; I'm going back to the '60s for that one.

[I've gone back and edited the titles to count the shows in a continuous processsion.]
