Notes: 484mb/85min, decent recording except when tape was damaged: This tape is kind of tragic, as Pete noticed near the beginning that he was not getting any levels unless he manually held down both the record and play buttons. He quickly gets the hang of it, so most of the songs are undisturbed through the performance, but he he relaxed and "rested" his fingers between songs. As a result, most of the between-song introductions did not get taped. But the music, or most of it, survives! The deck managed to mangle the tape a few times: During 'thrash jazz assassin' the taper gets the hang of it and makes the adjustments. The beginning and end of 'bone orchard' is squishy. During 'terkmani tepee' the deck claims the tape and the last 7 minutes becomes unlistenable. After 'osaka bondage' there are several minutes of squishy tape warp. No telling what is actually missing. Next 'the yodel' cuts in, but only a few seconds go missing from the beginning. There are some intermittent tape squeals throughout, but they aren't too bad.
