Another terrific 1996 SBD, so clear you can hear the band members talking to each other between songs.

Unfortunately, there was a problem with the SBD or the recording deck that generated tics and pops from time to time and particularly at loud transients like drum beats. A few visual samples are included with the files. Fortunately, the errors were plainly visible in a phasescope, but in the end it was a judgment call whether they sound like a snare hit or a pop or just static. When the sound was clearly wrong or merely offending, the waveform was repaired -- about 350 different times -- but of course your ear mileage may be different.

The end of the show has a strange gap, as if someone forgot to change the tape, and most of Mighty Quinn is missing. Indeed, but for the consistent, annoying artifacts, the last few minutes might be filler from another show.

Enjoy!
