Set I and the beginning of Set II are all that exist of this performance.  We do not know who taped it or with what equipment, but it sounds like an audience recording with goof stereo separation.  It was a little bright and lacking in bass.  Some light EQ helped re-balance bass and treble.  The tape does not sound like Dolby or dbx was used and the tape was played back without it.

The cassette was dated "August 1987" but it was performed on the Harmonic Convergence as stated from the stage and noted on the cassette itself.  That occurred on August 16-17.  To be precise, the Hell Cycle ended on August 16, 1987; the Harmonic Convergence began on August 17.  But which date was this show?  In North America, many people gathered for the Convergence on Sunday the 16th.  Molly's Cafe also held shows on Sundays (e.g., Slipknot on Feb. 22, 1987) and Dreamspeak played Sunday gigs at Molly's more than once.  Sunday the 16th therefore seems more likely.

Thanks to Tom Kaelin for lending his cassette to be digitized, and to whomever taped this.

Enjoy!
