Notes:
Two versions of this show are already circulating.
The first one with unknown lineage is most probably pre-FM sourced as shown by the frequency analysis.
It doesn't include "Dirt". The second version is coming from the recent XRT rebroadcast, it includes " Dirt" but omits "Street Hassle".
Sound quality-wise, my personal preference goes to the first version so that's the one i took as a basis.
However, the level between the two channels was quite different. The left channel was boosted by 2.1dB so that they are now balanced.
"Dirt" from the FM capture was reworked so that it sounds as close as possible to the pre-FM version.
Its RMS level was adjusted so that it matches with the overall level of the pre-FM version and it sounded more trebbley
so it was slightly equalised accordingly. Then it was smoothly reinserted between "Coney Island Baby" and "Street Hassle",
where it probably belongs according to most concert setlists in that period.
I also added the last three seconds taken from the FM version (Lou thanking the audience)
that were missing at the end of pre-FM's "Rock 'n Roll" to make this new version as complete as possible.
The artwork shamelessly downloaded from http://www.badreputation.de/ was updated to display the new setlist.
Thanks to:
Hargus and Antimudshark for offering the two versions of this concert on DIME.
