Seems confirmed by the fact that the stereo separation seems to change in some points - The sound is not consistent, opening and closing up in several places. I have noted the following transitions: - The sound gets closed during d1t08, becoming somehow muffled - Then opens up again at the start of d2t03 - It slowsly closes during d2t04 - At d2t05 opens up greatly - Then closes suddenly during d2t07, and opening again before d2t08 - Then closes during d2t09 and at the beginning of d2t10 Listening to the transitions some of the changes are probably due to the taper lowering/putting higher the recorder. - There is some magnetization effect you can hear on the left channel. Not that bad but it is a bit disturbing sometimes, specially in quieter parts. This effect must have been on the master or created during the tape copy because at the end of the first side when the music stops also the noise stops. It is the second time it happens with tapes from this taper. It seems also that there are missing songs, at least 3 at the beginning (The lazarus heart, Too much information and We'll be together) and the Fragile> Little Wing> From Me To You sequence that was usually played after d2t04 in this part of the tour (and here maybe missed due to the tape change). Maybe they were not played. Apart from that, personally I do not particularly like this part of the tour nor the arrangements, so I'm not the best to judge the performance, but the group is composed by top musicians who damn know how to play. Thanks to FD for lending me the tape. No eq, no noise reduction, no speed adjustment.
