* The cassette flip between "Windswept" and "Jealous Guy" fixed, then fades were added.

I received this tape 15 years ago from a friend who told me it was a copy of the original. He made one for me and one for himself. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual lineage was DAT>cassette>cassette. This is probably the case because there are a couple seconds of repeated content between side 1 and side 2 of my cassette (the drum hits before "Jealous Guy"), and I cannot detect any missing content anywhere else. Most likely, it was recorded to DAT since there doesn't seem to be any real break that would point to a "flip". 

If it were originally sourced from DAT, I assume my copy was made from a cassette copy and not from the DAT, though I have no way of confirming this information.

I have made no attempts to "fix" anything. I simply joined the entire performance into one seamless file before adding fades at the beginning and end of each "disc." While I was tempted to remove hiss, I didn't want noise reduction to remove any additional information like cymbals, reverb trails, etc. Nor did I attempt to adjust EQ on my modest home studio speakers. I'll leave that to the pros, and keep this show as close to my source as possible. Enjoy.
