The last two of the five recordings (148089-0003 and 148089-0004) each contain some content from October 8th events. It appears that the original October 8 recordings were mostly recorded over during the October 10th Masters Concerts. The last five minutes of 148089-0003 is the October 8th New England Contra Dancing event, and 148089-0004 contains more New England Contra Dancing followed by Cape Breton Set Dancing (see "Irish Sets and Ceili Dancing" for the continuation of this event).
