Here's a nice FM show from the early 1981 tour, originally seeded by LuciferBurns. It's been off the tracker for a while so I thought it could be nice to reseed it in the case someone wants it. I noticed the tape ran a bit too fast so I slowed the recording down a bit, although with no reference material available it's just a fair guess and might still be a bit off, but I think it's much closer to the real speed than the original. I also bumped up the mid sounds slightly to improve clarity, eliminated most of the tape hiss and balanced the audio channels. The ending of LAM (which seems to come from a different show altogether) was quite crudely mixed so I added some cross-fade to make the transfer smoother. Also, the song cut locations were changed as in the original they were sometimes in the middle of Rob's speech. You can call it remastering if you want, but I personally avoid using that term because I'm not using the original master tape here.
