In this version you can hear the talk of the tapers between the tracks you can't hear on the Breakdown or WV version. The last two tracks on disc two are missing on my tape and I got this tape in the mid 1980s.
The tape is worser than the tape from May 9. So it wasn't possible for me to get out the same quality than on the restored version of May 9. Listen to the samples. Thank you.

It was the second time/night Lou played the Bottom Line in New York City

All Pictures of the cover-art and booklet were also taken from lurid. Thank you man!

Lineage:
I did near the same than for the "First Night"
0. Stereo > Mono > Unreal Stereo
1. I transfered the tape via Pioneer CT-W420R taperecorder to the harddisk. Used program: MAGIX Samplitude Music Studio 16
2. transfered in WAV to CDR
3. transfered the CDR to Fostex Digital Multitracker VF-16 - standalone - to do some preselections (not connected with the computer)
4. transfered to CDR again
5. transfered CDR to harddisk
Following programs were used: Steinberg Clean +4 / Magix Samplitude Music Studio 16 / TLH as a contol program
6. Noise reduction level 6 of 100
7. To reduce the buzz I used a High Pass Filter (6dB and cutoff frequenzy 1000 Hz)
8. Boost the bass up to a level of 10 dB
9. Amplify the volume between 5 to 8 dB
9. Normalize all tracks
10. used one predefined Equalizer
12. Reconstructing the clipping regions wiht 95% threshold of clipping
13. Fixing the SBEs through Traders Little Helper
14. FLAC Level 8

Some processes I had to do twice.

I can oly repeat:
An old and muffled recording covers a lot, and a primal restoring brings out the distortions below the surface. To do a perfect restore or remaster I have to know how and with what the other trader changed the soundquality. Otherwise I have to try and to try to get a result I can live with. This tape didn't have the same problems with the clipping aeras than the first night. But, if anybody wants to have a perfect remaster of such a terrible tape, sorry I can't give you.
