Used the silver CD of this show to fill in the first 2 songs. Had to bloat these 2 songs up to 24-96 for compatibility with the 24-96 tape transfer. Some light EQ to better match the patch to the tape source. Although not perfect by any means this tape has much less hiss and is fuller sounding than what has been available up to now. There is a light bleed thru in places but it is very low volume. We can only hope that someday these masters will be officially released to Linda's fans.
