Notes

A good to very good sounding audience recording. Very good, solid bass throughout most of the gig which only becomes slightly distorted during a couple tracks, which is a surprise in an audience recording from this era. The left channel is more prominent than the right for most of the recording. There's some distortion here and there, but that's to be expected. There are some dropouts during the beginning of Everything Counts. "The Landscape Is Changing", "And Then...", "Boys Say Go!" are missing entirely, the beginning of Photographic is missing, and all but the last 4 seconds of Pipeline are missing, probably due to the taper either forgetting to flip the tape in time, or the use of a 60-minute tape.
