Notes:

- I have banged my head of this one for a while now to try to figure out a few points of conflict. I have exhausted all resources I could find to add some clarification so I am going to put this out in hopes that someone may have some information on this, I am certainly no Lou Reed expert. Points of conflict are listed below. Overall a great sounding source and from what I can tell is totally uncirculated up until now. No editing other than retracking and removing dead air and repeat material has been done on this since the professional transfer.

- When I received the raw waves, there were three different tracks for "Heroin". Two are definitely different and the last was a partial from 02. I have omitted the partial track.
The other two baffle me. 06 and 02 both seem to be complete. 06 is 9:31 seconds and 02 is 15:23? 02 is also preceded by a 30 second snippet of "how do you speak to an angel"
that seems to fade seamlessly into the second take of heroin. This would lead me to believe that there is some missing material.

- 03 and 04 also had duplicate tracks. These were omitted.  

- I have seen two records of set lists for a show at this venue for this date. Neither of them match this source. I have talked with the one fellow from a Lou reed site and he noted
that there was an early show and a late show for this date. He only knows the late shows exists because he was informed by a band member that it was taped and has never seen or heard the set so he was unable to add much clarification.

- 05 this track is 9 minutes of crowd banter. I included it to preserve the integrity of the show.

Flaws:
- 01 There is a volume spike in the first 30 seconds of the track.
- 01 This is a 30 second partial of "how do you speak to an angel". The beginning is cut.
- 07 Cut at the end.
