The sound is very good, but Agfa LNX 90s were the only cassettes I could find. Over the years, the tape didn't hold up as well as other brands. The recording captures the entire show, from start to finish. My old pal BK did a terrific job working with aging tape. He transferred, smoothed out the levels, and generally tidied up the sound, giving a gentle boost to the upper end and better shaping the low end, too. I've left off superfluous bits: the intro where I wish Kris a happy birthday and send greetings to an old taper friend I'll call "Bob" (if you're reading, ping!). I also omitted segments comprised solely of applause. Why does this matter? About a decade ago, someone upped a low-gen dupe at archive, but this version is off the master. A little back story: later in 1988, Warren stopped in Portland, Oregon, to play the Pine Street Theater. He greeted people afterward, and couldn't have been nicer. We chatted a bit about how "Jeannie Needs a Shooter" got completed, and I told him that I had dug the show in Dublin. That stopped him cold, and he got a bit downcast. "Which time," he asked? "Oh, in February, at the Olympia. It was a very good show," I told him. He appeared relieved, and explained that before he had gotten sober, he performed in Dublin and wasn't in good shape. No such problem by 1988, obviously. He signed a handbill from the Pine Street gig, then he and Tim Schmit and I believe a fellow from the Holy Modal Rounders (!) took off together. Thanks to "Bob" for safekeeping back when, and to BK for the post-production conservation work. Share freely, and for free! - slipkid68
