Notes
- LIA notes third guitar B-bending and picking on "Mama Tried", and possibly the prior songs as well. This sounds like Nelson to us, though given the mix and all that we conservatively tie him only to "Mama Tried". The electrified violin, flute and saxophone players have not been identified as of summer 2024. See Corry's post at Lost Live Dead, and the extensive comments there addressing the question.
