*Billy Cobham introduces this song as Jailbait, but it sounds completely different than the heavy
"Jailbait" on the album. The real part of Jailbait starts at Track 7. I'm not sure if Track 6 is
just an intro to Jailbait, or if it has its own name.
**Billy Cobham: "It has a few odd meters in it, but then most of the meters that we play are odd.
And so therefore, when we transfer everything that we've said to computer it may be understand by
everyone in the solidarity in Poland."
Version notes:
-another version of this show was previously shared by Ricola on March 24, 2007. That version
supposedly has a running time of 59:35. Otherwise, I don't know how it compares.
Editing notes:
-seamlessly joined tape cut/removed repeated material at ~9:03.95 in Track 4 (Audacity)
-before that point, the speed was good (no adjustment)
-after that point, the speed was 0.8% fast. Corrected with MATLAB.
-seamlessly joined tape cut/removed repeated material at ~06:57.12 in Track 6 (Audacity)
-automatically balanced levels (MATLAB)
-automatically phase corrected by varying amounts from 3-8 samples
