This is a 2 source audience composite, both sources deriving from 1st generation reels believed to have been made right after the show. Source A is the complete show, less much of the between song banter and tunings, as well as missing a little over a minute in "Dark Star", due to a tape flip. Source B comprises almost the entire first set, which cuts in "Dark Star" and is missing the balance of "Dark Star", "Me & My Uncle", as well as the entire 2nd set. Source B has much more of the banter and between song tunings, but has severe level and distortion issues in both the banter and tunings before Bertha, as well as "Bertha" itself, making it unlistenable, consequently, some of the banter and tuning, as well as all of "Bertha" is from Source A.
This does not sound like any of the other audience sources in general circulation, but its exact origins are speculative, although it is almost certain that both sources are 1st generation copies.
Also, while I would have liked to have patched the flip in "Dark Star" with either of the circulating Jim Cooper transcriptions (shnid's 123539 & 123881), both have multiple issues during the part needed for patching, making neither transfer suitable for the patch
IMO, this is an upgrade to all circulating audience sources
Source Info:
Source A: Master Audience Cassettes; unknown taper, unknown equipment > 1st generation reels. This source supplies several minutes of the crowd/tuning before "Bertha", as well as "Bertha" in its entirety. This source also supplies the balance of the show after Source B cuts towards the end of "Dark Star"
Source B: Master Audience Cassette; unknown taper, unknown equipment > 1st generation reels. This source supplies some of the banter and tunings before "Bertha", and "Truckin' thru the cut towards the end of "Dark Star"
Transfer Info (both sources):
