I improved the audio and video of this recording of the 1st night of filming for the PBS Special and live DVD. Footage for the special was filmed at the Sony Studios in New York City over two nights, and this video includes the entire first night's unedited footage. Some of these performances (such as Green Earrings and Josie) are the versions used for the final product, while other songs they used the 2nd night's performance. Additionally, there are a handful of songs here that were filmed but ended up being cut from the special.
