Tape is probably around a 3rd or 4th gen. This is the best I've ever heard. There are some really shitty copies of this out there; this one however is pretty clear and enjoyable. The tape ran fast, like all other copies. I speed corrected this right on the tape deck and it should sound fine. There's a soft crackle throughout from the tape, however this is only noticeable on headphones, and only at a loud volume. Stereo separation is pleasant with the drums shifted more towards the left, vocals more towards the right, and the bass and guitar centered. I'm not sure if "Atomic Punk" was played or not. I have never heard it on this show. This is as complete as it gets. Digital editing was minimal; I ripped the WAV file from the CDR, got rid of gaps, faded out the ends of both discs. Tracking was done with CDWave. This is probably not for the very picky, but otherwise everyone else should download this, probably throw away the copy you have, sit back and enjoy a fine show and probably the finest quality copy we'll hear. Some Daveisms: After RWTD: "We're caught right in the middle of the full moon phase, and everybody's getting slightly crazy here. Oh let me tell you, we got a little bit crazy last night man. I caught a quick one in the eye, gotta stay away from them card games here." Before "Feel Your Love Tonight": "Yeah, it was the night I was born, yeah, born on the full moon 23 years ago, Bloomington, Indiana." [My note: I guess this is in keeping with Dave's fudged 1955 date of birth, when he was really born in 1954.] During ATBL: "But I got to tell you, this is going out to an interview because I feel like there are some questions that the audience can answer a little better than Dave can. So let me ask you one time for the tape, who likes to get high around here?!" "Let's me see who's with us here, light up your matches if you're with us here huh, light up your matches, let me see it, let me see it, who's with us on this one, who's with us on this one, I wanna see who's making all the noise here. Let me see it, let me see it Arkansas. Let me see it. Oh Little Rock, you're lookin' good baby. And I'll tell you this much, that cheer was a fuckin' lot louder than Memphis was last night!" During "Bottoms Up!": "Can we turn the snare monitor down a little bit around here? Turn it down, Jim. Turn the motherfucker down!!! The crew is on drugs, excuse me."
