Just wanted to see if anyone out there knows anything about this disc. I've been collecting Hip stuff for quite some time now, but I can't remember how I got this disc into my collection. I've checked around to see if there is any info out there for it. but no luck. I found a German website with that odd name:
http://www.2metersessies.nl/
It features working tracks of 100th Meridian (twice), Little Bones, Bring It All Back, Cordelia, Unplucked, Long Time Running and some starts and stops. Really interesting to hear tracks like this in a somewhat raw condition. I'm hoping there are more discs out there like this one. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I used to have an mp3 of Long Time Running from this. It was the absolute best recording I have ever heard of it... rivaling the version on Road Apples.

I listened to this disc today in my car and cranked it up, it's excellent. The chit-chat between tracks is interesting at times, though I wish some of it could have been replaced by another song or two, and it's strange that it has 100th twice.
Thanks (Tthip) for posting the youtube stuff from the 1997 sessie. And everyone else for chiming in with info.
Does anyone know how many of these exist? The sound is incredible, like sitting in the room with them. I'm certainly interested in picking them up. I can make this available too, but I might need some hand holding on how to get that done properly.
