SOURCE / LINEAGE
Stereo AUD trade tape (3RD GEN)
Trade tape > Computer WAV > Cool Edit Pro 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 2009-11-09.
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
A bit weird (a tad thin and AM-radio-sounding), but an excellent sounding tape / it's fairly clear.
It sounds like it's right in front of a set of speakers, but one guitar does dominate - maybe a monitor?
I think it's Tepper's feed:
* Snyder is introduced b4 Dirty Blue Gene / his ISN'T the dominating guitar we hear starting the song
* later Tepper's name-checked b4 both A Carrot & One Red Rose, and we *DO* hear ze loud git
Anyway, it's, umm, unusual to hear a whole show from this perspective.

The tape flip spot is right after Doctor Dark ends, and I added a SBE-fix to that point.
The band intros are after My Human.

Despite it apparently being quite hot in the venue ("open a door", "break a window pane"), the band is on.
A great setlist, played with gusto, sweet stuff - it's like kandy korn, man, ya gotta eat 'em!
Another one of my favorites.

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.
