Not only is Hobbes one of the current elite active tapers bringing us show after quality show but he began plying his craft back in the 1980's.  He has been very generous with us and supplied me his master tapes to transfer and share with everyone.

This is recorder 3 and easily the best capture of this show.

Recorder 1: 'ivannf' share no longer on the tracker
Recorder 2:  1st Generation - http://jungleland.dnsalias.com/torrents-details.php?id=36941
Recorder 3: 'Hobbes4444' Master Tapes

This show was a pleasure to work on as very little had to be done to it.  There were 6 seconds missing at the start of both 'Roulette' and 'Cover Me'.  I've patched both these missing bits with the 1st Generation source.  Both recorder 1 and 2 were missing the first few seconds of 'Love Me Tender' (actually recorder 2 was missing the song entirely).  
'Love me Tender' is complete here and with the two small patches this show is now certified 100% complete in the best quality to date.
There was a 19 second volume drop during "I'm A Coward" I was able to boost and it's very close to the same dynamic as the rest of the show, so pretty seamless.

The April series of shows has gotten a bit of a bad rap over the years due to the static setlist and some of the tours' staged 'scenes' but hearing the show anew in this quality has given me a new appreciation for this particular show.

Thanks goes to Hobbes for allowing me to babysit his masters for a while, do the transfer and enjoy the show with a new perspective.
