Bill's RCA SBD patch was given to him as a friend of Page; apparently, no other SBD patches were given.
There are no known AUDs of this show. Kindly let me know if you have one, or know of one.

Jeff Ishaq's (my) first gen DAT clone ->
Playback on Fostex D5 ->

Noise Reduction notes:
There was a terrible high-pitched buzz that ran from [start -> d1t08 08:23] and [d1t10 01:58 -> end]. I applied a notch filter in Cool Edit 2000 to these two passages to reduce the noise, the downside of which was a slight attenuation in the high-end such as cymbal/high-hat. I think this recording was a little heavy on the high-end anyway, so perhaps this wasn't a downside after all -- you be the judge: you can hear the notch filter kick in again at d1t10 01:58.

I also manually removed numerous pops, the exact locations of which are at the end of this info file.
