Taper Notes:

View Notes-- I was seated near "air-wistle guy" (the taper's curse), so I used Soundforge to soften it up a bit where I could, and without disrupting the music. Now it's a little less jarring than on the master.
-- Made a quick tape-flip in drums (at 7:51), only a few seconds missing.
-- These shows featured the first use of the surround-sound ambient speakers. (They were only used in the first half of 1984.) You can't really hear it too well on the tape. It's mostly noticeable during some of Jerry's vocals on Eyes, and during parts of drums/space.
