~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From The Los Angeles Times:
Doug Fieger, leader of the Los Angeles-based power pop band the Knack
who co-wrote and sang on the 1979 No. 1 hit "My Sharona," has died.
He was 57. Fieger, who had battled cancer for several years, told
the Detroit News in January: "I've had 10 great lives. And I expect
to have some more. I don't feel cheated in any way, shape or form."

This recording was first posted in May 2005 by 38F. It was snatched 340 times before falling off the tracker in July. It was later reposted by arcorman in 2006 and 2007.

I did some minor retracking to fix a couple instances where songs began at the end of the previous track. I also smoothed over an apparent tape flip in the middle of "My Sharona", applied fades at the start and end of the show, and added flac tags. Thanks to Fabio and arcorman for the original and subsequent postings. If anyone wants the original fileset please let me know. If anyone knows the exact date of this show, please comment.

2010 edits by john234:
- cut 6 seconds of dead air at the start of track 1.
- applied brief fade-in over first two seconds of intro to diminish brief distortion.
- applied brief fade-out at end of the last track.
- smoothed over an apparent tape flip at 4:46 of "My Sharona."
- made separate tracks for the intro, the encore break, and the audience outro.
- minor retracking throughout.
Editing lineage: Audacity (retracking) > TLH > FLAC 6 (align SB) > Foobar2000 (flac tags).
