::: VERY fine up close stereo AUD. Check samples for personalised specification requirement assessment, beautiful bright flashes of audio illumination or drool ignition.
::: Warts: Taper (yrs truly) shut off recorder betwixt most songs to conserve ltd. battery stash. Missed bits o' stage banter & 1/2 second start on cut 9, sorry. Some bumps from mike motion (most smoothed out).
::: MUCH finer listening experience after remastering. Many issues entirely gone, particularly between songs. You ain't never heard it as good as this.
::: Setlist complete & order correct. Some lists have it wrong. 
::: Analog cassettes traded dozens of times, but this is the digital debut outing of the master cassettes.
