an excellent sounding soundboard recording of the first half of a very special show, including amy and emily's set and ani difranco's set. a really good sounding audience recording of bruce springsteen's set and the final two group sing-a-longs. the show was put on by the two year old rock and roll hall of fame, and in addition to the all star lineup playing songs by woody and songs inspired by woody, tim robbins read from woody's writings as the different artists got set up.
