Notes

This complete "best" version combines 3 incomplete sources

All sources are FM from broadcast on KSAN


*SQ*
Varies even within sources.
Source 1: Excellent, "A" (in places it varies as low as "B+")
Source 2: Good, "B"
Source 3: OK, "B-"

It is unknown if this recording is from the first or the second show.

*Notes*
All the sources are partial.
Source 1 of this complete "best" version is the excellent-SQ version in circulation. It's 42 minutes long, but unfortunately the last 10 minutes are corrupted by digital noise and distortion, so here it is patched with other sources. Towards the end of the uncorrupted part of Source 1, I remastered to balance level fluctuations (for 1 minute 2 seconds starting 1 second into Louie Louie).

Source 3 is the last 22:31 (from the middle of Pumping to the end), where it sounds better than Source 2.

Source 2 used to patch numerous gaps in Source 1
