Fantastic recording but with a few problems.
The high end was brittle sounding and there were some pretty good sized holes during the first few songs.
"Brother John" and "Mercury Blues" (early show) along with "Don't Look Back" (late show) were incomplete.
Project's goal was to tame the brittleness and plug those holes so the songs were not cut off.

Audacity was used to combine all the tracks in each set to be treated seperately as they were different sounding.

Har-Bal 3.0 -
Harmonic Balancing (equalization) reshaped the frequency spectrum.
Added fullness in the midrange increased low bass and reduced the brittleness (of the first set especially) but left the sizzle.

iZotope RX4 advanced -
Volume adjusted at the beginning of the early set to smooth out the changing levels.
Multiple "Holes' were filled in with surrounding material and the thumps found on both sides removed.
Clicks and clunks removed at this time.
Low frequency rumble attenuated.
There was a 4 second overlap after "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" (late show) and it has been removed.
A 1/2 second overlap was found after "Brother John" (late set) and it was removed.
Small break missing the "P" of the word "Patience" during the chatter after Mercury Blues (late set).
The missing moment was patched from another "P" found in the word "Projectile".
A gap in the chatter prior to the encore (late show) was removed.

Adobe Audition 3.0 -
During the first set a tape flip during "Brother John" lost the end of that song through the middle of "Mercury Blues".
A patch from the second set was used to fill the gap and hide the abrupt break on the master.
The next tape flip was during the second set and it nips the applause after "Texas Tango".
A bit of applause from elsewhere was used to fill in and smooth out this break.
Now there was another tape flip during "Don't Look Back" and the missing piece was filled in from a bit of the early show.

Very convienient that the breaks were spaced in a way that allowed material for these patches.
Not perfect splices but it sure beats having the music stop in mid song.

Always tough to reduce high end in a recording since you don't want to muffle it.
But those cymbals were so scratchy bright it started to hurt and something needed to be done.
Still hearing plenty of sizzle but not as overpowering during the crashing (of the cymbals).
Gave the bass and kick drums a slight boost giving this a little more punch.
