I tried to upload this to Dime, but it could not read the checksum file. So, go to Hungercity instead!

Another show provided by Christian. Glad to have ya back!!
I split the shows according to where the tape-flips were. I didn't wanna break up anything - even crowd applause. If you wanna play around with the discs, be my guest!
I now run all of my analog-to-digital recordings through Peak4's "Remove DC Offset" tool. From the Peak4 manual: "Peak4 will scan the left and right channels of a stereo file independently. DC Offset is usually caused by problems in the analog to digital conversion process. The result is that the waveform is not centered on the base line ? it is offset either higher or lower than the center line."
The cassettes I received were definitely pitched slightly slow, but other than fixing that I did not make any adjustments or use any filters. The only flaw I noticed was some "wobbling" in the volume during the first minute of "Waiting for My Man." Outside of that, this is a pretty good recording (B+)! My guess is that any circulating copies were made from the slow-pitched recording, so this is very likely an upgrade to what's available.
Oh, and you've never heard a Pale Blue Eyes done like this! FUNKY!
