*This show may have been recorded by Rich Ringer, and the lineage of the cassette tape is uncertain, other than that it's from the SBD.

The tape was labelled "8/83" but according to http://packetofthree.com/po3/html/1982_june_19_-_boston_orpheum.html the correct date is 7.19.82.

The recording has a number of problems at the begining. The very start is cut, and the levels are adjusted a few times in track 1. I leveled that stuff off. Then, about 30 seconds into track 2, something goes wrong at the soundboard. Over the next 10 minutes, the signal strength in each channel changes a few times, gaining and losing strength asymetrically. I softened the changes where I could. It's all listenable, just inconsistent. Then about 16 minutes in, the guy sound figured out what the problem was. There's a brief dropout, and then the levels return to normal in two steps. The rest of the recording is fine. There's only about .5 seconds of missing music.

Enjoy!
