Comments:

- There were several reasons for wanting to put this out.  It is the first audience recording to emerge for
  this date. "Dark Star" although having a cut of about 2:26 (starting at 2:03) also contains approximately
  18 seconds that are missing from the soundboard that circulates (this is from around 7:39 in the soundboard.
  It also includes the last 2:28 of "Death Don't Have No Mercy."
- The tape also contained a couple of 2 minute segments of "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" but I decided to leave
  those out.

Notes:

- This recording had severe problem with the speed. I've never heard anything quite so bad in this respect before.
  It has been necessary to make adjustments every 10 to 15 seconds and it still has some speed issues but they
  are unlikely to improve unless I had the time to spend many more hours on it. If anyone wants to continue what
  I've started please feel free to do so.
- A number of artifacts have been removed.
  There are signs of tape deterioration.


Thanks to Leon and Charlie
