| DDC-?>ANA-?>CDR transfer also circulates, which cuts during Silverfuck, and is patched with an alternate transfer labelled as DDC-?>ANA-3>CDR. However, the sound is overtly hissy for a third-gen tape, and it sounds as if Farewell and Goodnight is patched from an even higher generation source, possibly making the DDC-?>ANA-?>CDR version a combination of three different tape generations.

Iha: It’s been very nice.<br>
BC: We’ve really enjoyed playing for you, thanks for making this a very memorable time in our lives.  We’ll have to see you again some other year, some other place.  So take care, god bless you, thank you.<br>

Iha: [unintelligible]
BC: No, you know, it’s - usually it’s towards the end of the concert that the masturbating lonely guy type starts to throw things at us. So anyway, heh, haha, I hope you’ve had a good time, we’ve had a good time tonight.
Iha: It’s been very nice.
BC: We’ve really enjoyed playing for you, thanks for making this a very memorable time in our lives. We’ll have to see you again some other year, some other place. So take care, god bless you, thank you.
