The partnership with CB aka: Mr. Anonymous continues and we are pleased to present what appears to be the first appearance in the torrent era of CB's capture of the 2nd night in LA on the Reunion Tour.
This is Recorder 3 for this particular night, so why did it take so long to appear as a torrent? 
Well, there were some major technical issues with this particular recording and my guess is it was shelved due to these issues until the technology was more user friendly and more likely, someone was willing to take the time to fix the faults. 

The first issue to overcome was a totally unusable right channel due to a technical issue creating distortion and affecting the entire show. Fortunately the left channel was clean and full so a simple channel copy corrected this issue. The next issue was 15 or so instances of small gaps or static bursts lasting between less than a second to 20 seconds, mostly during "Murder Incorporated" and "Cadillac Ranch". You'll see under known faults 11 instances where I used a patch to correct a gap or static burst, there were a few more that I was able to seamlessly remove. There may be a couple minor ones left that I could not remove but I believe these to be minor and not interfering in the overall enjoyment of the outstanding show. Don't let the patches detour you from this one, combined they total less than a minute. Thanks to Hobbes4444 for supplying a yet to be released 4th source I used for the patches.

CB had excellent seats for this show on the floor and the capture reflects the location. Though it had to be turned to mono due to the technical issue with the right channel I think you will find it extremely enjoyable.

Even though not an official JEMS release due to being one of CB's modern era captures and the commonality of this show, the same painstaking cleaning up and correcting of known flaws went into this one that go into CB's official JEMS releases. We hope you enjoy the result....

How can you go wrong with a show that has Factory > Point Blank > Youngstown and Murder Incorporated back to back to back to back!
