Original source notes (excerpted) :

Unfortunately the concert was not broadcasted in its entirety...
I think the concert is still going one while I am uploading this one to DIME...

Enjoy!

My notes:

Flaws in original broadcast (at the original timing points - these dropouts occur a little
earlier here, since some introductory chit-chat was removed relative to the original track) :
Apparently all forms of broadcast have these issues.

dropout in track05 @ 4:43
dropout in track05 @ 6:43
The sound returns a bit differently after the second of these and stays that way.

Editing notes:

My main purpose was to make a listening copy that omitted the announcers' lengthy
observations/interjections/translation (mostly in between songs). While talking all
over the bands' own lengthy commentaries to the point the musicians were mostly inaudible,
the announcers managed to only step on the start of two tracks, which could be fairly
cleanly edited around. The master was recorded carefully in order to provide headroom
on the fly, so I adjusted the levels upward to use the full available range here.

Thanks to ldb
