Taper Notes:

View NotesSecond public performance of the Brent rarity "Don't Need Love".
Taper gets hassled at the beginning of the first set to lower mic stands (NOT!).
First set flip spliced at end of d1t06/beginning of "Tennesee Jed" snagged from recently seeded shotgun audience masters.
Pauses between tracks during the first set smoothed with crossfades.

View Notes# Playing tease at end just before transition into "Don't Need Love"

Recording Information:

1] The Sennheiser binaurals were pressure gradient "omni" type capsules designed to be worn on a human head or the supplied dummy head. This is one of the best representations of how they sounded in this type of live environment.
This will sound BEST through headphones; through a stereo you may choose to increase bass slightly.

Taper Notes:

View NotesThis recording was done to capture as much as possible. There were no tape flips requiring fast forwarding or rewinding during the actual recording. Side A of the first tape was recorded then Side A of the second cassette. Everything was then fast forwarded at the break and the B Sides were recorded. Very little crowd noise has been removed.
