NET Tapers Series #1 (Taper: NTA), off-master, excellent sound, First of all, on the first track, "Jokerman", after some fairly obnoxious screeching, the taper (apparently) says very clerarly:, "Shut up!" Luckily, except for a brief time at the end of the track, the screeching stops, and the audience noise is not an issue in the rest of the show. Second, this recording has, four tracks tacked onto the end of the show (according to Olof's setlist).
excellent sound; background talking d1t1 4:xx
(a bittorrent from 03/11 is a not close eac match on d1t2 with same digital flaws plus more; described as "lineage : cdr trade>eac>tlh>flac6, source : same as LB-1356 with same fingerprints (the taper (apparently) says very clearly:, "Shut up!" at the end of Jokerman)" with filenames like "bd94-04-24d1t01.flac"; xref-00734)

This recording inaugurates the NET Tapers Series. If you have a recording from this date,
you can easily tell whether it is this one. First of all, on the first track, "Jokerman",
after some fairly obnoxious screeching, the taper (apparently) says very clerarly:
"Shut up!" Luckily, except for a brief time at the end of the track, the screeching stops
and the audience noise is not an issue in the rest of the show. Second, this recording has
four tracks tacked onto the end of the show (according to Olof's setlist). If anyone can
help identify the source for these tracks, I would appreciate clarification on this matter.
(Even if you do have a copy of this recording, if you have it from a high-gen source, the
sound quality may not becomparable to this off-master one.)

Enjoy the show and please leave windows open as long as possible!
