Thanks to the original collector/uploader.

This reveals itself to be a very nice show and pretty decent mono capture.

It is in fact mono.
To work on it I split the stereo file into two mono files and discarded one.
Then all work was performed on the remaining file.

This had a ridiculous amount of high end energy.  Ear shredding.
I took a huge cut out of the high end and boosted the lows.

After that I took the offered advice in the comments of the original share
and slowed down the speed and dropped the pitch 70 cents.
To me that sounded just right.

I then fixed some unnatural level fluctuations.

The final steps were to duplicate the finished file to create the
second channel.

The finished flacs may seem small.
That's because the two channels are identical.  Mono.
When the flac algorithms see two identical channels they only
use one.

I'm listing track 02 as you see below.
I guess 'Come On...' is there, that's the way others are labeling it.
I'm not sure I'm really hearing anything besides 'Barbary..' or not.
