There is a constant tape noise on the right channel you can listen specially in quieter parts, it is clearly a magnetization issue on the master tape probably from long time in storage. It's on the master as you can guess from the end, where the taper faded the copy and you can hear the noise fading too. (I have checked this also on my other tape decks and is there). What you hear are other parts of the recording running in the background, I'm sure yo already heard this effect on old tapes. My guess is that the master tape was defective, since it is on both sides. This effect starts to be audible during 'Walking on the moon'. There are some noise on the left channel notably at the beginning of 'Truth hits everybody' and 'Driven to tears', like some volume pot wasn't clean or someone turned some jack into the plug, I do not know if I give you the idea. This is on the tape as well, I've double checked. Maybe it is also on other parts but I did not noticed. The other unknown gen copy I have is clearly EQ'ed and may sound better than this raw unedited transfer, which is anyway a known lineage copy. Apart from this being an average recording, I like this performance. Specially the group jam on 'Bed's too big without you', but also 'Driven to tears' and the whole show in general. Thanks to FD for lending me the tape. No eq, no noise reduction, no speed adjustment.
