A very clean and clear recording.  Venue and date confirmed by the MC's chatter prior to Fools Blues, which is not included because it was full of pops and crackles and the taper set up.  A small discontinuity in Junkies on Angel Dust was cross-faded and you probably won't notice it.  There was some sort of tape change after Hit Single #1, which was also x-faded during the crowd noise, so not a big deal.  A bigger problem occurred about 15 seconds into Baby What You Want Me To Do, where a couple of seconds of audio was flat out missing, about two measures of music.  It was too long to leave blank, but too big to cross-fade away.  The solution was to remove the silence and preserve the tempo with a 100 ms cross-fade, which isn't too noticeable, but doesn't try to hide the fact that there's a little something missing.

Thanks to John W. and Tunabase for help with the setlist.

Enjoy!
