comments:
there are a few parts of this where one channel dropped out or had chord/static problems. I monoized those sections so it is all clear 2 channel sound (mostly stereo). this was recorded very close to the stage, maybe even front row. there are a few tape flip cuts but none of the cuts are very noticable after seamless splicing. the last song has a tape flip cut during the spoken introduction and cuts into the beginning of the song. probably just a few seconds were missed there. tracks 4 and 5 are cut near the end of each song. there is a little bit of distortion in a couple of the loudest parts, although the master tape and the WAV files these flac’s come from do not have any saturation or “clipping”. most of it sounds clear and quite listenable. this is one show that could have used a 100 for the 1st set, that probably would have prevented any flip interruptions, but it’s still a nice listen and probably within just a few seconds of the whole long show.
