Transfer Info:

Notes:
- Thanks to Joani Walker and Paul Scotton for the master cassettes
- Thanks to Charlie Miller for the transfer and coordinating this effort
- Major issues with the ultrabox feed during "Feel Like A Stranger > Franklin's Tower" and "New Minglewood Blues" resulting in severe distortion in the right channel, then turning to just the ambient mics at the end of "Franklin's Tower" and the beginning of "New Minglewood Blues", before switching to a straight soundboard feed for the rest of the show. Since the distortion was relegated to the right channel, the left channel was copied and pasted to the right channel for the ultramatrix soundboard portions until the feed switched to only the ambient mics towards the end of "Franklin's Tower" and beginning of "New Minglewood Blues". All in all, a nice improvement over previous versions and very listenable.
- Thanks to Michael Duffy and Curtis Ewing for the Schoeps source which supplies a half second patch when the feed changes from the ambient mics to the straight soundboard in the beginning of "New Minglewood Blues"
- Wheel space included in "The Wheel"
- Multiple masters were used to make this complete
- Pitch corrected
