TT = 1:17:19

All material from Dada, Psych & Bear Vol. 13 (2CD boot)

T1 (through 19:38), T3: audience source. needed editing, so decoded to wav w/ TLH, imported to Audition 3 for DC bias adjustment, exported to wav then loaded into Reaper, where it was given speed reduction of -1.4 semitones with Elastique 3.1.4 Pro. A bit muted, so I applied gain of +1dB to the T1 section and +0.9dB to T3 using the quick "normalize" button in Reaper's item interface menu.

T1 (19:38-end), T2: FM source
