This torrent is a fixed version of http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=721704 uploaded by phundercover on 01 January 2022.

edits/fixes made using Audacity, CD Wave Editor, and Trader's Little Helper:

1. removed various, short gaps, pops and clicks between some tracks, and smoothed transitions between them (notably between d104,d105, and d201).
2. faded out applause after the final song
3. replaced an effectively inaudible left channel segment during Arrow with the right channel. (See comparison sample in the comments.)
4. fixed clipping that was present on all tracks (most often in both channels); balanced channels and volume
5. fixed (new) Sector Boundary Errors
6. retagged tracks (Audacity)
7. created new ffp and md5 files

Thanks to phundercover for the initial upload.

phundercover's original notes:

A few years ago a friend of a friend met a guy from Hamburg at a VdGG show in Erfurt, Germany who told him that he had recorded four shows from the Swiss tour in summer 1976. Initially the taper sent the two Geneva shows and then the one from Neuchatel. I was asked not to share these widely until the fourth one (Vaduz in Liechtenstein) was received in case having them in circulation put the taper off providing this show. Unfortunately the Vaduz show was never sent and it's long overdue that everyone can enjoy these shows which are some of the best VdGG recordings from this era. This is the second Geneva show.
