Lineage Audio: Low Gen. AUD [Allegedly Master] > ATM 233 CDR > EAC > WAV > FLAC
Lineage Video: Dubbed Color 16mm > Low Gen. VHS > MPEG

Notes:
An excellent show, but the recording it only so-so; listenable but occasionally harsh.
Fortunately the live mix is pretty good with all instruments more-or-less audible most of the time.
Low Gen copies of this recording have been going around for years, but many of those are off-speed and slightly incomplete.
This version is a partial cleanup of a purported master CDR.
The "master" info is most likely not correct, but it does appear to be low generation, and it was only a little incomplete.
All the songs except "Red House" are complete, but there are cuts between songs.
The most common boot for this show is the probably the old Midnight Beat "Historic Concert" CD.
That CD is missing a little at the very start and end of the concert, plus the cuts during "Red House" are edited by a few seconds to make them smoother.
The cuts on trader copies tend to vary a little, including the two cuts in "Red House" (one copy was entirely missing the main portion of the song).
Otherwise, most of the variations are simply slight cuts missing a second or so near the true cuts in the original recording.
Here the incomplete cuts on the "master" copy have been patched, but the final version may still not be 100% complete.
Besides patching the cuts, the speed/pitch has been adjusted to something close to correct.
Subtantial EQ adjustments have also been made in an attempt to better balance the sound.
The end result is harsh sounding when the recording distorts, but decent sounding when not distorting.
The phase of the left & right channels were carefully aligned and averaged to pure mono to reduce noise.
As bonus, a 23:15 color AUD. video is also included in this torrent (from silent 16mm with dubbed sound).
