Notes: I received these from a friend, (thanks Sue), who had received these from the
taper back in the day. To my ears, it sounds like the first set and first two tracks of the second set have an extra generation on them. As first sets in this time frame often contained over a half an hour of tuning and dead air, an edited or dubbing "master" was used, whereas the Dark Star through the end of the show comprises two continuous tape segments, no edits, and hence no edited "master" was needed.
There are analog edits on the tapes I worked with after every track on the first set, after the first two tracks of the second set and after track 05 of the second set.
A tape flip occurs at the 05:34 mark of Set One track 05 as well.
