Notes Two source, stereo remaster

A very special event, early in the Animals tour. This show was recorded by two known tapers, both with excellent equipment. For source 1, the master tape is not available but has been stored on vinyl records. Given the time limitations of this storage medium it appears that the show's recording was cut to fit the constraints of two LPs. Still, 89 minutes of the show is available. For source 2 we have the complete recording, including encore. This tape was recorded in mono rather than stereo. The two tapers seem to be in different locations. For example, some have described source 1 as mostly Roger's bass and keyboards while source 2 has been described as having a high mix of Dave's guitar and vocals. A fan can be heard blowing a whistle during the opening of Shine On You Crazy Diamond in source 1 but this can not be heard in source 2; strongly suggesting that the two tapers were separated by a significant distance. Given the outstanding quality of both recordings, the predominance of different instruments in each and the apparent separation of the two tapers, creating a stereo recording by merging both recordings seemed worthwhile.
