Notes on the unedited source:
- great sound, no close applause
- several minor microphone impact flaws
- audible tape noise throughout
- noticeable change in sound quality after tape flip (brighter but more hiss; likely the gain level was decreased for the second tape side)
Editing:
Revsision A:
- balanced: left channel -0.5 dB and a very slight phase correction
- deleted 28 seconds of applause at end of concert
- faded in and out on aplause at start and end of concert
- repaired or minimized mic impact noises
- repaired clicks and pops
- gain normalized and retracked
