Recording comments
WARNING: This and 'Moonlit Queen' are the EXACT SAME SHOW!!! They are both either the early or late show! I own both of these, and not only are they the same show, but the same source recording!!! [Bangsmith]

P.S. Even the tape cuts are exactly the same. A small section of "Watcher" is cut, there is a bigger edit during the "Firth" solo, and the tape cuts off completely near the end of the solo----exactly like "Moonlit Queen". Peter says to the crowd, "Good evening Toronto" and he uses the jumping-on-the-bodies story to begin "Firth"----exactly like "Moonlit Queen". All my sources say all that happened at the early show, so be warned. This sounds marginally better than "Moonlit Queen", so acquire this instead. [Bangsmith]

Notes from tom
==============

A substantial phase (azimuth error) was corrected using CEDAR.
Tape playback speed was off by 2.5%. This has been corrected.
The right channel volume was increased by 1.5dB

There is noticeable damage on the right channel throughout disc 1, especially on the first track and on the last part of the last track.
The high frequencies were irreversably destroyed by cyclical dropouts which probably are due to a mechanical tape transport problem.
Each dropout is 0.6 secs long, beginning with two very short glitches; this happens at rate of 0.66Hz.

There is a total dropout towards the end of The Musical Box corresponding to tape-flip.

Recording comments
This is the exact same recording as the late show listed here. I believe they are both the early show, so get the other, "late" one instead, as that one sounds better. [Bangsmith]
