This tape was made on a cheap recorder with a very noisy erase head. There is a huge amount of broadband noise throughout. I've reduced what I could but to attenuate such a broad spectrum sound more than a few dB would be disastrous to the music. The recording itself is pretty good sounding if you don't mind the remaining noise. The encore sounds a little warbly like the tape was slipping a little. I've seen this happen from squeezing the recorder too tight. I can't fix that (I have a program that can but it doesn't run on 32 bit Windows).

Don't let this stop you from enjoying this show. Cyndi's voice is excellent and she's stylistically eclectic. the tape really doesn't sound all that bad for a cassette.
