Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes:
D1T1: Distortion is present on the master tape, and ends at 0:28.
D2T4: There is a small bit of sound-saturation of the vocals during "Miracle",
and in a very few other spots in the second set; this flaw is present on the master.
D2T6: Soundforge was used to remove a three-second silent gap at 4:31, which is
where the lead deck flipped his tape. (Soundforge was not used for anything else.)
D2T7: Track ID for "Space" started where the tape was flipped; this was a direct
flip (without rewinding) so only a few seconds appear to be missing.
