A decent audience recording, although it required speed correction for some time, and it's now approximately correct—enough to enjoy. The recording exhibits moderate hiss, a low-level hum, volume fluctuations, wow & flutter, and other imperfections, likely due to being transferred using suboptimal equipment.
A decent audience recording sourced from an unknown generation cassette tape. "Boys Say Go!" is missing from this recording, probably due to a late tape flip.


The last few seconds of [[Tora! Tora! Tora!]] are absent, and "Boys Say Go!" is entirely missing, most likely due to a tape flip. Additionally, a portion of [[Just Can't Get Enough]] is also missing. A strange drawn-out fade occurs between [[Dreaming Of Me]] and [[The Price Of Love]], fortunately during the encore break.
'''Update 2024-05-10:''' This version is "Revision A," and is from a slightly improved source with clearer lineage, courtesy of '''darkdevoted'''.


If anyone has a cassette copy of this audio, please reach out. A proper transfer would certainly improve the sound quality.
Compared to the recently shared remaster, this version has slightly better frequency response, less distortion, more consistent volume levels and stereo balance. Moreover, [[Just Can't Get Enough]] is complete, and the recording is not affected by an unnecessary fade between [[Dreaming Of Me]] and [[The Price Of Love]]. This version also effectively removes a low-level hum around 100Hz without compromising the music.
 
Despite the presence of MiniDisc encoding in the lineage, with recorded frequencies limited to approximately 8kHz, the omission of data above 15kHz has no perceptible effect in audio quality.

Notes

A decent audience recording sourced from an unknown generation cassette tape. "Boys Say Go!" is missing from this recording, probably due to a late tape flip.

Update 2024-05-10: This version is "Revision A," and is from a slightly improved source with clearer lineage, courtesy of darkdevoted.

Compared to the recently shared remaster, this version has slightly better frequency response, less distortion, more consistent volume levels and stereo balance. Moreover, Just Can't Get Enough is complete, and the recording is not affected by an unnecessary fade between Dreaming Of Me and The Price Of Love. This version also effectively removes a low-level hum around 100Hz without compromising the music.

Despite the presence of MiniDisc encoding in the lineage, with recorded frequencies limited to approximately 8kHz, the omission of data above 15kHz has no perceptible effect in audio quality.

Many thanks to darkdevoted for sharing this version of the audio to re-remaster.
