Note: The Sony JE530 is a minidisc recorder, however
a pure digital output is available when using it as a
"passthrough" device. Therefore, despite the presence
of a minidisc device in this lineage there is no MD/
ATRAC compression.

Total Time : [72:18]

This was recorded from a seat in the stalls (per ticket scan). I did not
record, or remember, or write down the name of any support act.

There was a tape flip between Superstar and She Used Me Up; how much is
missing is not known.

Editing:
(1). Normalised audio in Adobe Audition.
(2). Fade-in and fade-out at the start and end.
(3). Fixed the tape flip and pause priot to the encore.

At the tape flip, side 2 opens with one of the performers saying "the Queen".
Whatever was said before this, I don't know. It makes little sense on playback,
but I have left it in anyway. The cheers at the end of side 1 were slightly
faded out in order to smooth this join. There may be a total of 30 or so
seconds missing here, with the tape being wound to the end, flipped, and
5 seconds of leader on side 2. I put the track marker for She Used Me Up
to coincide with this flip - therefore it is a few seconds early, before
the song actually begins.
Before the encore, I paused the tape. I removed this sharp transition with
an overlapped fade-out, and fade-in of the 2 portions of audio. This is now
quite smooth.

First 45 mins:
Left channel x 150%, Right Channel x 200% (approx +3.5db & +6db respectively)
Final 30 mins (after tape flip):
Left channel x 140%, Right Channel x 175% (+2.92db & +4.86db respectively)
