Lineage: Aiwa mics -> Aiwa deck -> cassette -> Nak DR-1 (azimuth adj) -> Audigy 5/Rx -> Audacity -> CD Wave Editor -> FLAC 1.3 -> you
This torrent is incompatible with the CD-Audio standard. The sound is in 24-bit stereo sampled at 96 kHz. Feel free to post a downsample - I’m not going to at least until I’ve got all my tapes done. FWIW, it'll eventually be on The LMA.
Notes, rambles, etc.:
There’s a vinyl boot of this show (that’s been torrented here, probably more than once) called “Working” that’s missing ‘Driver 8,’ Dark Globe,’ and ‘Harpers.’ The info file said “According to The Timeline the last song played was The One I Love. This is missing from my recording.” The last thing you hear on my recording just after the crowd goes ‘Ugh’ from the lights being turned on is my friend saying “Surprise, surprise. No 'One I Love'.”
There were a number of mic crunches (I’m thinking loose or bad cable) mostly occurred in between songs and were easily excised, though there are a couple spots in songs where the volume drops because of it. Tape flip eats the end of ‘Riders in the Sky.’ Tape swap was done during 2nd encore break, and caused the loss of the very beginning of ‘Harpers.’
Peace,

Timeline notes: This show can be found on the vinyl bootleg "Working", the 2nd encore is absent, but Michael complains to the audience in the 3rd encore about not being quiet when he sang a capella. It is presumed that 'Harpers' & 'The One I Love' was played, other songs may have been played.
Notes:
-1,000,000 almost comes to a halt but is salvaged
-Plays a touch slow to my ear
-Before Ghost Rider, MS thanks the crowd for coming out, "especially those who didn't yell during the acaplla number. Or whistle. Or make birds sounds. Or yell my name, which after 27 years I'm very capable of repeating to myself over and over. Two simple syllables, I know them well. Thank you. Shut up and shut up". He goes on to ask everyon to turn to ther person on their right and say "hello, I like you".
