Notes that came with this recording:

Dub Taylor recorded this show using a portable 5"- 2 track reel to reel. 
The tape was recorded at 7 ½ ips in single-track mono so this pint size 
reel was flipped at least every 22 minutes. This created some breaks in 
the original recording.

I copied this concert from the original 5" reels in 1986 using a Tandberg 
reel to reel; Revox B-77 reel to reel (w/ Dolby). My friend made a cassette 
copy of my reel (without the Dolby decoder) and this complete concert is 
from that source. The missing decoder creates a slightly brighter version 
of this concert as compared to my DAT copy but this version includes the 
encore that was missing from that DAT.

I have transferred the audio from a Nakamichi CR3-A cassette; Audigy 4 
Pro sound card @ 24/44.1 to my hard drive. NERO wave editor was used to 
splice the tape flips and remove many volume dropouts and fluctuations 
that originated from the master tapes and also from my reel to reel copy 
which had aged poorly.

The first master tape ran out and was flipped during "Careful With That 
Axe Eugene". An unknown amount of music is missing and a splice can be 
found at 8:07.

The next missing section is approximately 22 minutes into "Atom Heart 
Mother" where the master tape runs out and the required flipping and 
rethreading of the reel to reel similarly took place in the dark so an 
unknown amount of this song is also missing.

I took the liberty to copy about 20 seconds from an earlier section of 
the same song to fill in the missing section with those 20 seconds. This 
patch is located between 22:40 and 23:01.

There is likely more missing seconds but this patch blends the break 
nearly transparently.

24 Bit files dithered to 16 bit using Audacity then the tracks were cut 
using CD Wave.

Many thanks to Rick Sheehy for sending me his cassettes.
