Zappateer Notes
The main source for this seed (which surfaced around the late 90's along with other Columbus tapes from *blknapkins* is, for 1970, a remarkable audience recording that sounds similar to the Fillmore SBDs from earlier in the month.

Also remarkable was that there was a second audience tape, still quite good although more normal for the early 70's, which lolive provided and which has been used to patch a few cuts in the blknapkins master (including a big one from early in Porko to late in Sharleena). Fellow Columbus natives will (probably) enjoy FZ and company taking a few potshots at our hometown.
