Fillmore West
San Francisco, California, USA

Since this had fallen off the tracker I thought I'd reseed it one more time before archiving it to a backup off of the drive it's on. I think the first time I seeded this here was in 2009, and it's been posted at least once more. This time the files are named and tagged but no changes were made to the audio content.

Recording specifics:
From the same original source as all other circulating copies of this show but this one is verified 1st generation with many problem spots seamlessly repaired. And from what I've heard of the many alternate versions, it's much better sounding besides being less cut up. This is combined from a rebuilt 1st gen. cassette with splices from an older 1st gen. reel.

This show has circulated widely from higher gen. copies. The master was taped by Neil Ferris to a cassette which self destructed within a year or two of the show. Luckily first gen. cassette and reel copies were traded and survived. All the older copies that circulated were 2nd gen. or higher and had various tape tracking problems and cuts. By the 1990's the 1st gen. cassette no longer played at all but was revived by Dave White who laboriously transferred it into a new housing. It took more than one try but the final result sounds much better than the other previous sources. It's almost entirely complete - lots of seamless repairs were done, with splices from the older 1st gen. reel where necessary. The disc separation point was also changed, since after many tape change splices were seamlessly removed this show sounded most logical when the CD change is before "Tommy" starts.
