Note: The Sony JE530 is a minidisc recorder, however
a pure digital output is available when using it as a
"passthrough" device. Therefore, despite the presence
of a minidisc device in this lineage there is no MD/
ATRAC compression.

Editing:
De-clicked FM click during audience fade-out at end.

Reference to the earlier-posted version indicates that 3.5 seconds was lost at the tape flip - including Nanci saying "thank you" over loud audience applause. Because the audio on either side of the gap was extremely similar, I closed the gap and chose not to patch from the alternate version. There is another 1 second missing where the audio was rejoined with a cross-fade, so as to be less detectable.

Slight fade at the end (to eliminate DJ comments).
