Editor's Comments:

This is a decent audience recording, good for the period, The master was possibly a mono recording that was later dubbed using stereo equipment. Much of the distortion in the source recording is caused by the phase-offset. This restoration provides a more balanced and centered stereo image with a lot less distortion, and eliminates many undesirable transient noises.

Restoration:
- corrected DC offset errors
- separated into 3 fragments at tape flips (//tf)
- restored clipped peaks and balanced channels
- repaired clicks, pops, and crackle
- very lightly decrackled
- dampened applause between songs
- phase offset corrections: Fragments A+C -0.17 msec, Fragment B -0.15 msec
- joined fragments, edited tape flip transitions and tracked
