Notes:
* peak level varies several times between 03:08 and 05:30 (taper busy with people around him)
** tape flip at 03:07 (fade out/in again, like on orig. CD's) ; unknown how much music is missing, but for sure more than necessary :-(

Intro-Notes:
Not sure if this recording is missing an Intro like mentioned by JN (Dylan section of Flakes); Track 01 starts some seconds late in the chords of Stinkfoot with FZ greeting the audience and introducing the band members

Punky's Whips Notes (all quality hints subjective, maybe you rate them better or worse) :
- Song start to 03:26 = A- sound quality, same source/tape like first 90 minutes of this recording
- 03:26 to 06:02 = B+ sound quality, patch from much higher generation tape (hissy)
- 06:02 to end of show = B+ sound quality, higher generation tape than first 90 minutes, lower than Punky's Whips 03:26 to 06:02
- fade-out at 05:58 (tape flip?) , fade-in into guitar solo
- dropouts at 00:16, 05:02 and 05:08 :-(

Sound quality imo: mostly A-/B+,
B- sound in PW starts at "your album's the shits - it's all wrong ...",
B+ at cut in PW, getting close to A- in Black Napkins.

Let me know, if there is a better sounding version throughout,
or at least some filler material to compensate the above mentioned flaws & cuts.

Thanks.

Enjoy.
