This is a new transfer from an old tape. All documented versions floating around are from the same master, all have more or less the same defects.
The end of the show could actually come from a different master but that couldn’t be verified.

LB-4082 has no Girls Set but nonsymectrical wavs
LB-4083 has the Girls . but the last three tracks come from Albany, 1980-05-18
LB-8092 again has no Girls
This new set has the Girls Set intact, the wavs look okay and altough the sound it far from great it sounds like a slight upgrade to me.
My tape was running waaay too fast, pitch corrected with Sound Forge.

% marks a break in the recording (identical in all versions I have checked)
In The Garden is just a fragment consisting of two pieces
Are You Ready has a cut of indefinite length after the Band introduction, maybe just a couple of bars
Pressing On is incomplete at start

This is a new transfer from an old tape.
Both documented versions floating around (LB-4072, LB-8090) are from the same master, this is from a different master !
Unfortunately, though, I would not consider this version to be an upgrade … but, Lo & Behold, it’s an alternate master.

Each segment of this tape was running at a different speed, pitch corrected (as best as I could) with Sound Forge.

% marks a break in the recording
Gotta Serve Somebody is just a fragment
Man Gave Names To All The Animals has a cut and tape warble, maybe half a verse and a chorus missing
Do Right To Me Baby (Do Unto Others) misses a few seconds at start, maybe due to a tape flip
Blessed Be The Name is incomplete at start

Judging from the cut in Man Gave Names To All The Animals I guess the taper also captured the Girls Set but alas …
