Thanks be to Andy L. for sending me to yet another Heart/Cheap Trick show. I was in the back corner of section 401 with no one in the 4 rows in front of me or next to me, so the tape came out with little audience intrusion. There was, however, a radio frequency interference similar to the previous night's Disturbed set. I'm starting to wonder if it's intentional. Maybe they found a way to thwart tapers. I tried profiling the sound and using noise reduction to remove it, but it changed tones, I used different levels of NR to remove the various frequencies, and even used a parametric equalizer to try to remove it, but artifacts remain, particularly in quies spots. The right channel of this recording may be a little duller than the left due to the harmonics I removed from it.
