A bit distant but otherwise nice and clean recording, only a bit too saturated
so there's some distortion in some parts, specially when the crowd screams loud.

I have balanced a bit the channels in some places but no other editing.

Taper's notes:
"Can I remember my rig.  You bet, as I was helping my buddy sell a couple of
extra tickets and he got arrested and took me in too.  I was forced to sit
in a chair with a Sony D5 in my pants and a nach shotgun taped to my leg."

I really like this show, long and interesting setlist with 'Next to you' and
they were in a good mood.

Thanks to [the taper] for lending me the tape.

P.S.: I know the disc split has no sense for 24 bit audio but is for that 4GB
WAV filesize limit.
And note the taper mislabeled the cassettes with the wrong month.

No speed correction, no eq, no noise reduction.
