The levels

in tracks 1 through 8 were uneven -- too low at the begining of the

show, then relatively higher until the band introductions at the end

of track 8. I used Wavelab to lower the leves and even things out,

and also to mute a loud section at 1:33 on track two where the left

channel was raised significantly for a second or so. I then used the

Waves L1-Ultramaximizer to restore the volume and increase headroom.

There is some annoying mic buzz during times when lead singer's mic

is on, but it's only audible when there's no other music.

The

commercials at the begining of track 1 are amusing. The advertising

of blank audio tape prior to a live concert broadcast speaks volumes

about the recording and copying of live music in 1979. As for why

they opened the show with the Star Wars theme, it beats me. The show

was broadcast on WLIR on Long Island and WILQ in Philadelphia.
