Rating: 3 out of 5
Notes: Update from ninlive: I have reworked this recording because the transfer ran way too fast. I slowed it down by 4.5% and have retracked the recording. The initial transfer itself was not great. The recording was transferred very low and you get a lot of the noise floor in the transfer, meaning a lot of hiss that would not be there had they transferred this at a decent level. First few songs are cut and I am not sure if it was because it was a bootleg and they didn't want to share a full recording or what, but very weird if you ask me. I would love to find an upgrade to this source.

Notes: Thanks to JW for reaching out to the archive. Found their cassettes in the basement and this one was bought in a music store on Newbury St. in Boston. I suspect with them selling bootlegs, this must be a pretty low gen recording. Comparing it to source 1 on the archive, this is definitely a different source and complete. Source 1 is missing a good bit of the first few songs, as they are cut. This recording needed a bit of help, it ran slow, so I sped it up to normal playing speed by cross referencing a few other tapes from the tour to match the speed of the songs. Tape flip comes after The Only Time. I initially just had JW's transfer of this, but he was kind enough to send the tape to me to do a bit of work on it. Azimuth adjustment and recording to the Marantz at a proper level has definitely improved this tape. Taper must have moved their mics on the tape flip because the sound is a lot better and clearer.
