Yet another very low-gen recording of mine that's up until now only been circulated in remastered shape. Here comes the raw version of this fantastic tape - not only is the sound amazing for 1972 (especially if you boost the low-end), but it only has one audible cut, at about 87 min into the show. The missing bit has been filled with a patch, kindly provided by NWIU2B, originating from a walk seed. The fill was NR'ed.
Aside from the somewhat weak low-end, this recording has one problem: possibly the most "fluctuative" levels I've ever encountered on a tape - not only in the overall volume, but also between the channels. I've adjusted some of the most extreme fluctuations, but there's still a lot of it left. I don't think it too disturbing, but if anyone feels like working more on this issue - be my guest.
