Notes:
mr_mags shared agalli's first transfer on October 16, 2010.

This is not to be confused with the November 21, 1976 performance of the Jean-Luc Ponty
band at the Bottom Line, for which there is a different recording.

This has fairly frequent, but brief dropouts on both channels throughout. Still pretty
decent quality for a 1976 recording.

-Seamlessly joined over a tape flip during the applause near the end of track 4 by removing
repeated audio, and cut out a few extended blank sections of just tape hiss (Audacity)
-track 1 was 3.75% fast, tracks 2-4 were 3.45% fast, track 5 started 3.45% fast but about
16 min in it transitioned to 3.1% fast, so speed corrected (MATLAB)
-Phase corrected the channel alignment (MATLAB)
-Automatically balanced levels (MATLAB)
