Notes:
--most of the cuts are a result of stopping the reel to save time/batteries,
and are therefore very minor in most cases
--dropout @ 1:55 in Bobby McGee
--tape warble @ 6:05 in The Other One(1)
--tape damage(?) @ 6:39-6:50 in 2nd Other One
--tape warble @ 0:08 in 2nd Cryptical
--Sound Forge was used for normalization, correction of the pitch,
crossfades, and smoothing over troubled areas.

Comments:
This is a decent mono audience recording of seeming moderate distance from
the source of music. The microphone is often bumped or moved, causing
some noise. The crowd is relatively quiet.

Deadlists comments:
This show is usually listed on tapes and in Deadbase as 8/24/71. But,
according to Dwight Holmes the circulating aud tapes for this show were
made by Stephen Wade, who says that he only taped the first show (8/23)
and not the second (8/24). Additional evidence from Jeff Tiedrich also
indicates that this is 8/23 and not 8/24.

Tracking notes:
The original text listing places Big Boss Man & Loser starting the second
set. Since the end of Loser is cut, placement of what follows is uncertain.
However, it is almost certain the first set extended beyond the listed
9 songs. I tracked the songs as listed at Deadlists; a much more likely
tracking.

Flac encoding notes:
All processing with Trader's Little Helper
Shn - st5 generated
Shn > Flac ( level 8 )
Flac - st5 generated and matched to Shn st5

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac
files. If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be
stripped, however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
