Editing notes: 
* Re-tracked entire show by combing with Nero's wave editor and then re-splitting with CD Wave 
* Deleted 19 seconds of audience applause at beginning of Track 101 and faded in with Nero's wave editor 
* Deleted about 5 seconds at end of Track 107; faded out applause with Nero 
* Removed small glitch at 6:15 mark of Track 205 
* Made numerous volume adjustments using Nero's wave editor (see notes below) in order to balance-out the overall volume of the show. Unfortunately, the original recording had some pronounced volume fluctuations: some spots were REALLY loud whereas other parts/tracks were difficult to hear. Conservatively, I spent a couple hours trying to adjust the volume so that the show would play more evenly. I tried to avoid having the show exceed peak volume as best I could, but some spots on the original recording were a bit "hot" and I tried to blend everything together as best as I could. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the end result. 

Volume adjustments (in order to get show's volume to play more consistently): 
* Track 101 (0:00-3:42 mark: +3dB) 
* Track 102 (1:09-1:26 mark: -1dB; 1:19-1:14 mark: an additional -2dB) 
Some clipping resulted from the volume reductions needed in Track 102. 
* Track 103 (0:51-7:25 mark: +1dB; 7:25 mark-end: an additional +4dB) 
* Track 104 (entire track +5dB) 
* Trcak 105 (+5dB for entire track except only +4dB for the 2:01-2:18 mark) 
* Track 106: (entire track +5dB) 
* Track 107 (0:00-2:27 mark: +5dB; 2:27 mark-end: +4dB) 
* Track 108: (entire track +4dB except +2dB for the 9:31-9:34 mark) 
* Track 201: (entire track +5dB except +3dB for 0:42-2:30 and +6dB for 4:06-end) 
* Tracks 202-203 (entire track +6dB) 
* Track 204: (0:00-1:26: +6dB; 1:26-1:37: +4dB; 1:37-3:44: +2dB; 3:45-end: +2dB) 
* Track 205: (0:00-1:16 mark: +2dB; 5:16-5:29 mark: -1dB; 5:29-5:33 mark: -2dB) 
Some clipping resulted from the volume redctions needed in Track 205. 
* Track 206: (0:00-3:37 mark: +3dB; 3:57-6:47 mark: +3dB; 6:47-6:53 mark: -2dB)
