A decent audience recording, although it required speed correction for some time, and it's now approximately correct—enough to enjoy. The recording exhibits moderate hiss, a low-level hum, volume fluctuations, wow & flutter, and other imperfections, likely due to being transferred using suboptimal equipment.
A decent audience recording. This version is "Revision A" and starts from a slightly better source, courtesy of '''darkdevoted'''. Compared to the version shared just a few days ago, this audio has slightly better frequency response, a bit less distortion, more consistent volume and stereo balance, doesn't have a missing segment during [[Just Can't Get Enough]], no strange fade between [[Dreaming Of Me]] and [[The Price Of Love]], and the strange low-level hum around 100hz has been cleanly removed without affecting the music. The audio unfortunately has MiniDisc encoding in the lineage, but with frequencies only reaching about 8khz on the recording, the discarded information above 15khz makes no audible difference in quality.


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.
Many thanks to '''darkdevoted''' for sharing this version of the audio to re-remaster.
 
If anyone has a cassette copy of this audio, please reach out. A proper transfer would certainly improve the sound quality.

Notes

A decent audience recording. This version is "Revision A" and starts from a slightly better source, courtesy of darkdevoted. Compared to the version shared just a few days ago, this audio has slightly better frequency response, a bit less distortion, more consistent volume and stereo balance, doesn't have a missing segment during Just Can't Get Enough, no strange fade between Dreaming Of Me and The Price Of Love, and the strange low-level hum around 100hz has been cleanly removed without affecting the music. The audio unfortunately has MiniDisc encoding in the lineage, but with frequencies only reaching about 8khz on the recording, the discarded information above 15khz makes no audible difference in quality.

Many thanks to darkdevoted for sharing this version of the audio to re-remaster.
