A couple of months ago I upped this show but had drastically diced and sliced it due to annoying digi noise on quite a few of the tracks large portions were cut and although it was better without the digi noise it did detract I was hoping against hope that the original taper would get in contact and perhaps there master would be clean.
Anyways nothing happened until a couple of days ago when the show appeared on DIME after downloading it was obvious it was a different and vastly better source (far fewer digi spots and smaller too) after talking to the taper it became apparent that there was more than one taper on the night but they were all suffering different degrees of interfearence luckly this version had most of them during accoustic portions and although 3 have been indicated a I noticed 5 I have gone through the set and have deleted very small (milli secs) segments and I am very happy with the result in fact there is only one spot where its noticiable to any degree and you would have to be on the ball to spot it.
So after talking to the taper and getting his agreement to re up this show I hope you all agree that it is very much better now.
I would welcome any feedback

this show is from my master dat. i didn't do any editing other than tracking and fades at the beginning and end of the sets. the show was relatively
quiet as it was just bruce and bela, so the clapping was much louder than the music. i was going to normalize it, but i left it as it is on the tape
as to maintain the integrity of the show as it was performed. i did notice a few spots where there was a little digi-noise.
being the master tape, there's little i can do about it...sorry
