Notes

A great sounding, complete audience recording. Most of the recording is of unknown lineage. The last track is sourced from a tape copy of the vinyl bootleg New Mode. This bootleg was later repressed on a CD bootleg The 19th Strike, but it seems that the transfer used for the bootleg was poor as the recording is very noisy and clipping was introduced. My tape transfer is free of clipping and is somewhat less noisy, but still lacks dynamic range compared to the rest of the recording. I retained and restored as much audience noise as possible between the last two tracks, but there are still a couple gaps. No music is lost.

The New Mode vinyl bootleg has very harsh treble (as you can tell from the overall sound of Dreaming Of Me), which is why I didn't use that to replace the existing source used for tracks 1-13.
