Audacity Was Used For Dc Offset, Increasing The Left Channell 3Db, And Appending 2 Wavs
Due To A Tape Flip. It Was Done During Applause, No Music Was Lost. I Also Removed A Small
Amount Of Tape Noise/Hiss.

Here Is Another Master From 1987, My Very Busy Year Of Taping. I Must Confess That Back Then
I Was A Taping Slut. (Lol) I Would Record All Types Of Music, All The Time, Every Week, Even If
I Didnt Know Or Particularly Like A Band. (I Have Slowed Down A Little Bit Since Then) If I Heard
Of Them Or Knew Someone Else Liked Them, I Would Record Them. I Never Heard Of David Torn Before
This, But I Went Because I Loved Bill Brufords Drumming. This Show, Like Many Others I Recorded,
I Now Thank Myself Now For Recording. This Show Seemed Like 7 Or 8 Long Improv Jams, But Some Did
Actually Have Names. It Was Really Cool To See This Show. The Vic Theater Always Has Good Sound.
This Night It Was Very Good. The Recording Came Out Excellent. It's Been About 25 Years Since I
Have Listened To It. So I Really Enjoyed Listening To It While Creating The Torrent.

Now Its Your Turn... Smokm' If You Gotm', And Turn It Up And Chill For A Bit
