Comments

Traded to me on CD, but with gaps between tracks and heavily clipped during the louder sections

as well as a very strange track split with several songs cut in two, or more, parts..

So I ripped the CD's to wav. format, and cut the 2 seconds of dead air from the end of each track

Then I combined the tracks to form into the new CD line up (I changed the disc split)

Next I ran Cool Edit Pro to remove the clipped parts and a few instances of 

over loud coughing from the audience. I then used CD Wave to re-split the files into tracks.

This is a great show, featuring the original cast, with the audience clearly enjoying themselves.

However, I have no idea what the correct date should be.
