NOTE (by Milesan): I personally handled the transfer of the audience analog master from Maxell Ud90 normal bias tape to WAV and SHN files.  The normal bias master tape resulted in audible hiss during quieter passages.  WAV editing used only to fade in/out at beginning and end of each disc and cut out excessively long audience cheering.  Tracks split using CDwave.  Zero processing of music was done.  A hiss sample from he beginning of the tape is included for those inclined to do their own noise reduction and other processing.  The sound is richer and more detailed than the widely-circulated bootlegs of this show as noise reduction was used in the preparation of those issues.
