Recorded by Mike Martin and Mario Mancilla
2 Sennheiser MKH404-tu microphones > Sony D5-M w/ Dolby > (2) TDK MA-R C60 cassettes

Transfer:
Nakamichi CR-7A (azimuth aligned to tape, Dolby B, Bias @ 70us) >
Korg MN-2000S 1 Bit DFF @ 2.822 MHz > AudioGate (24-96) >
Audacity (minor editing - volume, balance, dropouts, and splices) (fist set equalized) >
AudioGate (16-44) > CD Wav > TLH (Flac Level 8) > Stamp ID3 tag editor

The first set was un-naturally bright and that points to operator error.
Most likely the first tape was recorded at the incorrect bias setting of 120us.
Insufficient bias voltage affects the low frequency (resulting in over bright sound).
I avoid manipulation but in this case the first set was equalized in an attempt to correct this.
A snapshot of the eq. setting is included (slope = +5db at 40 Hz to -5dB at 5 khz)
The equalization was conservative and this set still has a very bright sound.
The tape flip for cassette one is in the applause and was spliced together without any loss.

The second set sounds much more realistic although less up front initially.
The flaw in this set is that I missed the start of the opening song.
Used a few seconds from the early set to patch this and create a (less) abrupt beginning.
Tape flip during applause and no music lost.

This is the first time that the master has been digitized.
