Vg+ sound after some EQ was done (bass lifted massively, treble lifted a bit).

Other measures:
- some hiss reduction
- sound levels adjusted between left and right channel
- audience noise between tracks reduced
- reverb reduced as much as possible

Other remarks:
- There is some distortion at higher volumes but all in all not too discommoding
- close to the taper (or even the taper himself?) a guy is yelling loudly from time to time, mostly at the start of the songs which was not possible to remove or reduce without changing the flow of the songs. So I left it in.
- There is a cut in the middle of Station To Station (due to tape flip?) which was faded out and in again. This was already in the tape I received and I left it as it was.
