Notes: 10 Feet From Stage = Great Instrument Pickup,
Vocals A Bit Lower Than Moore's Copy.
A Few Pauses But Not Many, Tape Filp After Supplication,
Flip During NFA Crossfaded And Is Barely Noticeable,
Probably Lost 3-4 Sec's,
Minimal Crowd Chatter, But With Handheld Mic's, Up Front,
There Are A Few Spots Where In An Ideal World, A Few People
Would Have Been Standing Somewhere Else.
If Anyone Wants To Matrix This Feel Free, I'd Love To Hear It!

Recording And Transfer: Jeff Stevenson

Thank you to Rob Eaton for the SBD transfer,
and to Jeff Stevenson for recording this all-time great show.

Notes:

1) Warning: this might steal your face - the sound is impeccable, thanks to truly excellent sources for a matrix.

Note on Supplication fix:

I removed a "click" sound I mistakenly added to the AUD-only portion of Supplication at 0:06. I fixed this by patching in the unscathed AUD there, rather than using a de-clicker filter. This "click" had always driven me nuts and warranted a fixing.

Thank you for your continued patience and support.
