A decent audience recording. This audio has needed speed correction for a long time and it's now approximately correct, enough to enjoy the listen well enough anyway. This recording has moderate hiss, a low-level hum, volume fluctuations, wow & flutter, you name it, it's got it... I suspect the source tape was transferred on inferior equipment, which makes it sound worse than it should be. [[Tora! Tora! Tora!]] is missing the last few seconds, and "Boys Say Go!" is missing entirely, most likely due to a tape flip. A bit of the middle of [[Just Can't Get Enough]] is also missing. There is a weird drawn-out fade between [[Dreaming Of Me]] and [[The Price Of Love]], but fortunately it occurs during the encore break so no music is lost.

The recording exhibits moderate hiss, a low-level hum, volume fluctuations, wow & flutter, and other imperfections, likely due to being transferred using suboptimal equipment.

The last few seconds of Tora! Tora! Tora! are absent, and "Boys Say Go!" is entirely missing, most likely due to a tape flip. Additionally, a portion of Just Can't Get Enough is also missing. A strange drawn-out fade occurs between Dreaming Of Me and The Price Of Love, fortunately during the encore break.

If anyone has a cassette copy of this audio, please reach out. A proper transfer would certainly improve the sound quality.
