whotrader original notes:
This show was one of the first ELP recordings I ever traded for - around 1988 - 1990 somewhere in that time
period. Anyway, this is missing the Fanfare encore and Nutrocker appears to be out of sequence. Nonetheless, a
very decent sounding recording

Notes:
The original version of this that was torrented by whotrader had phase cancellation, where the channels were
out of phase with each other. This produces a "thin" sound when listening from speakers because the audio from
the speakers destructively interferes with each other - particularly the low frequencies. whotrader sent me his
raw transfer files so that I could fix the issue from scratch rather than using the files that he originally
torrented - so big thanks for that.

The files that whotrader shared on TTD previously were EQed/speed adjusted/tweaked somewhat. For this version,
no EQ has been applied.

The edits I made in Audacity are:
-Inverted the right channel to fix the phase cancellation
-Some varying phase adjustments (channel timing)
-Some varying level adjustments to balance the channels (not to adjust the dynamics). whotrader captured
the audio at a pretty high level close to clipping, so generally I reduced the louder channel.
-Reversed the order of Pirates and Nutrocker, because I think Nutrocker was always played first

Speed adjustment notes:
-Original audio ran fast, typically changing somewhat at the tape cut points
-Speed adjusted using MATLAB
-Tracks 1-5: -1.6%
-Track 6: -1.2%
-Track 7: -1.0% (first 9 minutes), -0.8% (last 6 minutes)
-Tracks 8-9: -1.3%
-Track 10: -0.7% at the start, changing to -1.1% by the end in 0.1% increments
-Track 11: -2.4%
-Track 12: -1.2%

There are some cuts in the recording. In most cases, the cuts are between songs but sometimes they are during a
song - like there are 2 during Pictures At An Exhibition. Some cuts have a gap, and some don't. For the ones
with gaps, I may sometimes have cut out ~1 s of silence, but I always kept a significant amount of silence if it
was there originally and didn't try to disguise them.

An advertising poster and ticket stub is included.
