I did some loud clap removal in the beginning of Tambourine.  You can still hear somebody clapping loudly near the mics, but I removed the "worst offending" loud claps.

I removed a couple of LOUD bursts of wind at (2:10) into Faker, 3 in the Q&A, and a couple in the intro to and during TCT (depending on the severity, sometimes the "Click & Pop removal" in Sound Forge mostly removed the wind, and others it required an additional Low Frequency Shelf in the Parametric EQ.)  They should be mostly inaudible at this point.

Recorded by Eric Vandercar, who came out of virtual taper retirement to record this for you folks.
