Bluecongo's Comments:
I made this mix very "wet & nasty". I really wanted to capture the energy of the crowd and the band reacting to it. This new version I believe will cast a new light on the 1980 tour. I did my best to include as much in between song banter as possible. The Aud taper often paused his recorder in between songs to save tape apparently. The warts of the Aud & SB recordings have been left in. Drop outs, crackles, etc. Kashmir switches from SB to Aud source midway through the song.

Regarding Kashmir, I have taken the unprecedented step of offering two versions of the song. One version has the tremendous screw up in the middle of the song edited out. The other version is the "warts & all" version. I leave it up to you to decide which you want to listen to. I think you'll prefer the edited version.

Mustardpie's comments:
The uncut Kashmir could not be inserted into the original track ordering without a noticeable click at the beginning. A very tiny bit of sound from the trailing note of Black Mountain Side had been clipped from the uncut Kashmir. I restored this tiny bit of data from the beginning of the edited Kashmir back to the beginning of the uncut Kashmir. Now the tracks flow seamlessly into each other.

Also, CD Wave introduced some sector boundary errors at the end of each disk and in the uncut Kashmir. I encoded the complete Kashmir back to flac level 8, named it to fit the track listing above, and fixed SBEs with shntool with the output set to flac level 8.

Bluecongo gave me his approval to torrent this show. I offer my thanks to him for the hard work he put into this show. I certainly enjoy this version better than the plain soundboard recording.
