Warning:
There is a bad connection between the PA system and the FM feed.
This causes a buzzing that pops up throughout the show, accompanied
by a total loss of amplitude for several seconds at a time.
Nearly every song has several of these dropout episodes up until
OMSN, with a few ocurrances in the 2nd set. Otherwise, the sound
quality is not stellar either, and has frequent distortion and
overmodulation on the portions from the primary source. The final
portion of the 2nd set on disc 3 is slightly better quality, and
the lineage might have one less analog generation, though this
cannot be confirmed. Due to the technical problems, this entire
show might only be for the completist collectors, and casual
collectors might only be interested in the 2nd set.

Notes:
–Sound Forge was used to normalize and correct the pitch for
source 1.Normalization was applied to the final portion of the
2nd set. Other minor edits were done using Sound Forge as well.
–buzzing and dropouts occur frequently up until the 2nd set;
there are often several during each song
–dropouts from tech problems @ 7:05 & 7:25 in O1
–dropout from tech problem @ 1:09 in JBG

notes:
This is a reported Marty Weinberg audience recording. Many songs have been
clipped at the beginning or end, though most of these cuts are minor.
There are occasional, faint moments of static or degradation throughout this
recording. Besides the flaws, which are minor, this is one of the better
audience recordings of the year.

Several large dropouts were adjusted, such that extremely low levels were
normalized and smoothed over using Sound Forge:
d1t06 @ 1:30
d1t06 @ 3:20
d1t09 @ 4:02 (irreparable)
d1t09 @ 4:20
d1t09 @ 6:10
d2t03 @ 1:22 (irreparable)
d2t05 @ 1:20
d3t07 @ 0:35
d3t09 @ 10:03

other notes:
–reel flip @ 0:55 in FOTD
–tape flutter at beginning of St. Stephen
–it seems the recording has picked up a nearby radio station as overlapping
music can be heard during parts of St. Stephen
–the order of the songs is uncertain, as the placement of Good Lovin’ is
questionable.
