Notes:

Thanks Dave for this info file!

This is a new rip from the 4CD silvers of the first 2 CDs. Soundboard source plus audience source to fill the gaps.

Silvers > wav (EAC w/log files) > shn w/seek tables appended (mkwACT).

If anyone wants the audience source (CD 3 & 4) I'll post them. They probably won't be in your CD player too often though.

The audience source of this was recorded by the donor of the mystery drive. He was 12 years old. Although he was never in the trading scene, a few years before I met him he responded to an ad in the Recycler looking for Led Zeppelin tapes.

He passed away on December 31 and at his funeral it was mentioned in his eulogy and remembrances that he got to hear Stairway To Heaven before his released to give you idea the outsize role music and concerts played in his life and of course how much his friend and family was aware of it. 

I also read Jimmy Page referenced this recording in an interview 20 years ago when he was talking about mining old bootlegs for riffs he came up with on the spot during the extended jams.

The audience recording is incomplete and there are so many sources of this recording that I never really gave it more a cursory review just the same but I just wanted to share the story. I never posted anything about his identity or the obituary from the paper lest Nirvana fans or whatever try to track down the listed survivors looking for those tapes. I wouldn't put it past some people. But those tapes are long gone and this drive is all we have, hence my urgency to employ the LOCKSS system and get it all out there.

In spite of what the info files says it appears this file does include the audience version.

Enjoy!

Last Call / Brief Intermission

I am completely out of storage options unless I wanna resurrect my FileFactory account, and that would just be rude, so I am going to have to start emptying out the Mega + Google accounts, at least until I can use WeTransfer again. So get it now because once they are gone, they are not coming back. But I don't have many new transfers, Jan is always a dead month for anniversaries and I wanna finish my book which often involves stopping and playing the songs mentioned within for the full immersive experience. So when I finish the book I will empty out the Mega account and post some more shows. Probably not going to reach the level of intensity of the last year or so however which is why I am not spending / taking donations etc. Decided to pump the money into hard drive and better storage options for my physical media.  In the meantime I was been trying for a few years to get audio resynced to a Jessica Von Rabbit video and the same person filmed Mudhoney from against the stage but
