Firstly thanks to the taper for recording this & to the source that I got this from.
Without both this wouldn't be here.
Talkers are only audible between songs.
The vocals at times distort a little but nothing to bad to ruin your listen. 
Aside from the remastering I retracked the whole show.
Turned out well, hope you like.

Mega thanks to Scott for finding this & sharing.
This is an amazing recording, a genuine 10/10.
Wish I knew the taper's details to thank them,
if they read this you did an excellent job.
This needed very little doing to it.
It ran to fast so it was slowed down a little.
Did some minor edits & fade in/out for the tape flip,
between tracks Nightshift & This Unrest.
Just had some gentle touches to enhance it a little & it was finished.
Enjoy,

Remaster Notes:
Many thanks to Rob for sharing this on his blog & Ratpie for sharing originally.
This had a low level hum all the way through it at 50hz.
Removed what I could some remains but nowhere near as bad as what it was.
There is some distortion on "Broken Horse".
There is a CD glitch in "My Secret Country" from 1:46 to 1:54, 
tried to make it less painful, but failed.
There is slight distortion on "Only Business".
There is a tape glitch in "1 & 1/2 Hours ago from 2:46 to 3:04 which again I failed to repair.
Removed as much tape hiss as was possible.
Then just some gentle remastering & here it is.
So (mostly) wonderful, if there was none of the above issues this would be excellent 10/10.
It is still amazing.
Hope you enjoy it as it is.

Well finally here it is.
A great sounding show.
There is a little tape hiss present but I didn't want to apply a reduction,
it isn't a big issue & the extra dynamics make up for it.
The only time it is really high is during the intro of Broken Horse.
It is present on the original tracks.
Sounds great to my ears, if you like the band then this is a must!
Think you will enjoy it, a great listen.

Not all gone but a massive improvement on how it was.
Also did various cleaning up tasks on this as well.
Then applied some light EQ.
Having watched a video of this gig recently I think this came from the VHS Video,
transferred to the CD this comes from.
Whatever it sounds really nice, took a lot of time & work to get it this way.
As always hope you enjoy.

This suffers in places with the source tape or deck for the transfer,
nothing terrible but it is there.
Tracks 1 & 12 suffer the most.
Took some restoration to clean it up & try to calm the shouters that are present.
Too many talkers all over this in places which is a shame,
smoothed out what I could.
There is some microphone click/fuzz towards the end of "When Love Breaks Down",
am guessing the taper went to the deck to flip the tape as that is what happened next,
not to bad cleaned it up as well as I could.

Remaster Notes:
This needed a lot of restoration from vinyl noise removal to digital clippings,
repaired a couple of gaps, then did tidying starts/finishes.
Most of it is very good & needed just gentle EQ touches.
Track 7 is very in your face & grates, did my best but this one is rough sounding!
The only other thing to mention is that it is lossy.
Hope you enjoy my labour of love...

Remaster Notes:
Taper did a great job capturing this.
My thanks to him/her & to all who shared along the way.
Needed some restoration.
The worst thing was that it was very hissy.
The notes said "master" but it sounds 2nd/3rd in generation.
Did what the recording could handle dynamically.
Via speakers it is great put the headphones on and there is hiss remaining.
Slight digital skip in Youth.
What sounds like a microphone disturbance in Heat, lasts a second.
Not many talkers on this which helps a lot while listening.
Did a few edits/fades and ended up doing a partial re-track.
My basic artwork included.
Enjoy...

Remaster Notes:
Many thanks to who ever sent this my way.
R.C. or Alan possibly?
Appreciate it.
This has had a fair amount of restoration.
Was then speed corrected (it ran to fast).
Finally some really light touches with the remastering.
Talkers not to bad only in between songs & quite moments.
There is still some tape hiss present (especially if you wear headphones).
Removed all that I could, listen via speakers it is fine.
Tracks 14 onwards suffer from tape stretch, all sounds a bit wobbly.
So....
If you can live with the hiss & the odd wobble this has much to recommend it.
Enjoy...
