The original taper sent this to me as is, with fades between each track. I believe the show, except for the end of Magic Bus, is complete, including all banter.

The note on the homemade jewel case insert provided by the trader says "Transfer to CD from original concert tape."

Some notes from the taper:

"If I remember right we were about 6 rows off the floor just right of center that night. I had no luck on the floor trying to tape, it gets muffled and I had the tape player knocked from my hands plus a lot of noise from movement."

"It has a small stereo condenser mic built in, but in the concert hall setting it doesn't make much difference. I re-EQed it because the output from tape to CD was a low volume. Also the left side always recorded lower than the right (tape head alignment I imagine), so the right channel was panned slightly to the left to balance the image. This may have caused a little phase sound."

"It wasn't until a little over a year ago that I bought a audio CD recorder thinking that I should preserve the original concert tapes I have collected over the years. Being a musician I had a nice 4-track to play and manipulate the original tapes."

"It wasn't until I heard about John Entwistle's death right before the kick off of the new tour that I thought about sharing the bootleg."

Volume level drops for a couple seconds 3 minutes into WGFA.
Tape glitch 30 seconds into PW.

Many thanks to upperdecker for contributing this CD and the above notes.
