The recording I'm sharing is pretty good.
But this official release is AMAZING.
A must have; go get it.

ROB SEZ:  HUGE thanks to the kind trader who shared this with me. He prefers to remain anonymous, and told me this is from a first-generation cassette copy of the soundboard master. Sounds pretty damn good to me! Apparently, two sets were played this night: Set 1 is comprised of tracks 1-9. The tape flip happened near the end of Yo-Yo and the start of K. About 30-45 seconds from the end of the former was lost as a result, but only a few seconds of the latter's opening notes are missing. Otherwise, this is the complete performance. 

 

As received, I only needed to split and tag the tracks, remove dead spots, create fade-ins and fade-outs, and apply 1 pass of modest eq to bring the high frequencies into better balance. No compression and no noise reduction.

Vanessa: if you happen to read this, please remember I did ask! 42 years later, I hope you'll agree there's no real harm in letting the band's fans hear this amazing performance. No one's making any money here. This is from a fan for fellow fans.
