Notes

A superb audience recording, easily one of the best from this tour. Christmas Island is missing the first couple minutes, but otherwise this is a complete recording.

Revision A notes: 2023 retransfer on a high-end Nakamichi cassette deck. High-frequency response is extended, playback speed is correct, there is less hiss, and general clarity of the recording is improved. The track splits are also better placed than the prior version. Though this revision is not a humungous upgrade, this recording is so good that it deserves a high-end transfer to extract as much detail as possible from it.

Note from the prior version's original info file:

Back in 1995 I bought these master tapes from guy selling his collection advertised in Goldmine. His name was Dan Halvorson and he recorded the show with a D5 and PZM Mic.

Many thanks to James K. for providing these cassettes for archival.
