Patch Notes:
Tape flips on the master cassettes were seamlessly patched utilizing the linear mono SBD feed on the VHS masters. The vocal channel in the soundboard feed quit working on the last two songs of the encore. This sequence was seamlessly patched with Mark Severson's Nakamichi 700s Cassette Master.
