This is indeed a mono recording but transferred to 2 channel stereo somewhere along the line� After Pale Blue Eyes, before the 1st encore where there is a cut, I suppose there�s been a Reel change (as opposed to the middle of 20th Century Boy as noted in the original info txt), the sound changes, going off center to the left channel which corrects itself a bit later on but never gets back to being the same as where it was before the cut. The levels are overdriven here and there which results in clipping, especially noticable on Catapult.

Notice too that due to tape damage at the fixed dropouts/repeats the sound changes a bit here and there and that I was unable to do something about the dropout at the end of Sitting Still. In my opinion the sound changes don�t interfere with the flow of the show too much. I did the best I can do, I hope you will find this to be an improvement.
