*Delete some small pieces of dead air with NO music or crowd lost, just vinyl noise
*Manually removed as many pops as I could while trying to preserve my sanity and not destroying any audio, if the audio suffered the pop remained
*Speedcorrected the LP and Desktape as best I could (many thanks to Bert13 for some advice on this, LP = 101.2% stretch, Desktape = 97.1% shrink)
*Put SOYCD VI-IX before DSotM
*Removed Echoes, which doesn't belong to this date

notes:
Many thanks to Andrea82 and blauwdruk (from the hub) from whom these sources were obtained. I have meerly taken their hard work and arranged the
tracks according to how the show was performed. The minor edits I did are noted above. Special thanks to Bert13 for assisting with some
speedcorrection advice.

There was a lot of discussion about this date a while back and many people contributing to the reason why this is presented the way it is here.
Goldenband, Bert 13, Neonknight, and many others discussing how this is probably an Open Air Mic (OAM) recording that was probably santioned by
Pink Floyd, and not a direct SBD recording. Goldenband's very diligent work on realizing and identifying that Brain Damage and Eclipse from
Darkside II Desktape are really from this date is exceptional. It has also been concluded that Echoes from the LP rip is also not from this
date and no definitive date has been established because as of right now it doesn't coincide with any versions of Echoes we currently
have available and doesn't match the version of Echoes from the Audience source from this date. Again, all credit to Goldenband for this
investigation.

My main goal here was to coalesce what we have from this supposed OAM source. It's not perfect but it is what it is and I enjoy it a lot. The
sound from both sources is fantastic. I hope you enjoy!!!
