notes:

A nice 2nd recorder finally surfaced for this gig. This sounds as being recorded a bit more far away than the other one that was in circulation before, overall a very nice sound quality for this unknown generation tape.

notes as they came with the files:
*The Technics RS-B965-M is a modified deck - for details see the Tapeheads.net forum
01 Side A - MC introduction to One Of My Turns
02 Side B - One Of My Turns to In The Flesh
03 Side C - Run Like Hell to Outside The Wall
Current total running time: 1 hr 52 mins 30 secs
Kbrubaker's tapes are a good listen and the taper seems to have been particularly well positioned to capture the sound effects. I expect the music could be quite easily pieced back together to remove duplicated content and have not taken on the task myself as I think various Yeeshkul members would do it better.
The output from the channels on the cassettes varies so I made compensating adjustments to the gain on the FSP14 at the commencement of each side. Side A was the quietest of the three and was stronger to the right. Side B was stronger to the left and the wall falling on Side C took the meters on the Technics well into the red. There's hiss but it's not distracting and I found the stereo separation to be good on headphones.
The highlight for me is when shortly before Run Like Hell Roger announces that the band are going to "play something for all you disco fans" and the crowd boos.
