Comments: This is obviously from a very low generation tape copied to DAT. Minimal hiss, quite clean, without a lot of noticeable editing. The left channel is a bit choppy, but the right channel is quite smooth.
Complete show with a few breaks in the master tape. The taper was likely having a few problems with his deck.

During the tuneups between 'When You're In' and 'Set The Controls', the taper clearly says "yeeshkul" into the microphone...perhaps he was the same taper who captured the 11 March show of the same name? Chances are that he was, and he was accompanied by the same friend who made inebriated noises and burps during the earlier 'Yeeshkul' show, since he repeats them in this recording.

At the end of 'Breathe (Reprise)'--Track 4--there is a break, which is covered by Track 5. Track 5 is obviously from a different tape, or perhaps a backup machine that the taper or his friend had. You can hear the same chap shouting "yeeshkul" again during the first few notes of 'Us And Them'. Quality of the second tape is a bit better than the first.
