SOURCE: Audience {Tom Reid}, front table stage left
LINEAGE: Panasonic RQ-J36 tape recorder (automatic level setting) + Panasonic RP-V220 stereo microphone + Maxell UDXL-I-90 master cassette tape > Tascam Porta 02 MKII MiniStudio + TDK 4X Digital Audio CD Recorder DA-3826 (stand-alone) > CD-R (audio) > EAC wav (hard drive) > Audacity (minor fades {tape start, flip, encore & end}, tracks stitched, amplified, track markers) > Trader's Little Helper flac level 8 & torrent > Dime

NOTES:
This is a straight transfer from the original master tape with no EQ, etc. The only changes that have been made are some very minor edit/fades at the start of the tape, at the tape flip, at the encore where the taper had stopped and restarted the tape, and at the end. I applied amplification to the entire show to bring the levels up to an optimal point. Transferred 2013-02-23 by David Chance.

This replaces an unknown generation transfer previously uploaded to the tracker: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=436052

This show was taped by at least 2 different individuals in the audience, one of them being Tom Reid. AS, a long time and highly respected collector, has a gen1 copy of this show taped by another individual.

Many thanks to Tom for kindly loaning and trusting me with his master tape and for generously sharing his efforts with his fellow Van fans.
