Another gem from the TMOQ vault.
Audacity was used to clean up the dropouts and other unwanted noises.
To make this easier to listen to the loudest claps between songs were removed or muffled.
No Eq or noise reduction (except the Dolby B on my reel).
Some crackling can be heard in places and comes from the master tape.
Tape flip at 21:12 (between songs).

FWIW, the Ash Grove was at 8162 Melrose Ave. in the City of Los Angeles not Santa Monica. Tho starting in 1984 that location and surrounding area became the city of West Hollywood in Los Angeles County.; September 9, 2011 at 4:27 AM
