Additional comments (by RossMan): Rather poor recording. A couple minor edits had to be done:
- During d01t09 at the 6:03 mark to edit out dead space.
- Between d01 and d02 due to tape flip. Few Seconds of beginning of Bad is missed.
- During d02t05 at the 5:18 mark to edit out dead space.
No music was lost during these minor edits. Normalized to 98% and Faded in d01 & faded out d02. Couldn't tell if the recording got better as it went along or you just get used to listening to it. Side 2 of the tape was a minor bit louder than side 1. For completists only.

Comments

Poor audience recording with a very distant and pretty muffled output. It sounds as if the mics or the recorder were / was covered, and located quite far from the stacks. There's a bit of crowd noise, but considering all the issues this tape offers, that is a minor factor. It seems this is the only source that is circulating.
