SOURCE / LINEAGE
Stereo AUD trade tape
Trade tape > Computer WAV > Cool Edit 2000 > TLH v2.4.1 > FLAC 8 > DIME > you
Big thanks to the original taper, and to the trader (jbk) who hooked me up with a copy.
I originally mastered this 2009-11-21.
The right channel was low on the source tape, and I tried to balance things out a bit.
Beyond that, the only thing I did on the computer was place track marks before each piece.
This FLAC fileset comes from WAVs from this dub, which only needed SBE corrections in TLH; no CD-Rs or EACs.
NOTES
It is stereo, but if you're looking for high fidelity, this ain't the one to pick.
The first 3-4mins are dodgy / heads misaligned (no adjustment to my tape would help), but improves a bit after that.
And as you see, the first 5 titles have cuts all over the place.
There's a couple'a cuts early in track 6, and from then on it's largely uninterrupted save for between songs near the end.
Most of the gaps related to the cuts were left as is, because they left very small short gaps.
During the last 1/4th of the show, the gaps had long silence stretches & I cut out a total of 30sec of silence from them.
Part of Circumstances was overlapped over my source tape's sides, the sound was much less hissy on Side B.
Tho pace-wise it was a seamless edit, you can hear the hiss step down right at that edit point.

If you can get by all the above issues, what's here is a fine show.
Alice In Blunderland is sweet, and you get a taste of Too Much Time / Clear Spot / Crazy Little Thing.
And who opens an encore with a bass solo? :) Just like, who opens a show with one, no one but El Capitan.

There's some debate as to the actual date of this performance.
Per Detlef's site, this is best dated as being 1972-10-13.
Some other references include a date of 1972-10-19 or (my tape) 1972-10-30.
Whatever the date, it's a nice capture from long long ago.

I dunno about you, but when I hear stuff this old, I am REALLY grateful that people went and recorded things like this.
And I'm glad traders kept them going around long enough so I could get a copy many years later.

Filenames have numbers on the end that are the TIMES (ex. - "...-359" is 3min59sec long).
I mark the start of tracks when the music or count-in begins, not the talking about it before it starts.
