Comments: 

FAT CALIFORNIA SUN AND MOON
is nothing but the 'convergence'
Of “CALIFORNIA SUN", “CALIFORNIA MOON” and “FAT OLD SUN”
(easily deducible by the title)
It basically let you get 3 RoIOs in 2 CDs only …

The first two RoIOs cited above originally  pointed out an erroneous date on the cover 
(the error is here avoided)
note that the RoIO “FAT OLD SUN” is only the first half of the performance
at the Lisner Auditorium
and it showed formerly  a wrong tracklist on the cover (here it’s avoided too)

The sound of FAT CALIFORNIA is not 100% high-quality
…there are some tape rustles and likely  problems on channels…
Anyway, excluding these inaccuracies,  
FAT CALIFORNIA  remains a pleasurable meeting of two excellent performances…

Here is the exact source of the FAT CALIFORNIA tracks:

 disc 1 : tracks 1-2-3-4 = “California Sun” 
 disc 1 : tracks 5-6-7 = tracks 1-2-3 of  “California Moon" 
 disc 2 : tracks 1-2 = tracks 4-5 of  “California Moon” 
 disc 2 : tracks 3-4-5-6-7 = “Fat Old Sun”
