(3 Recorder Mix)
Transferred, mixed and upped by MJK5510 (February 2013)
First off, thanks to Ivannf for supplying me the "Hallenstadion '81" (Winged Wheel) source, without his assistance this would not have been possible.
My goal was to use the 3 different recorder sources available to make this excellent show as complete as possible along with offering an alternative to the most common source "Hallenstadion '81". I asked Ivan if he could supply me the CDR source as my tape copy sounded too many generations removed to be used for this project. After he kindly, and quickly I might add, supplied the CDR source I decided against using any of my tape source for recorder 1 due to the generation loss. Though very good quality and fairly close, I find much of Hallenstadion '81 to suffer from low level bass distortion and being a bit shrill at the same time, so, like I mentioned I wanted to offer an alternative to that source along with getting most of the less common 2nd and 3rd recorder sources out into circulation.
I wasn't sure how much of the parts missing from Hallenstadion '81 could be completed but what turned out is a 99.9% complete version of this show. If I had another very good source in place of Hallenstadion '81 I used it. Where Hallenstadion '81 is used it is either patching another recorder source or the song was not available from either recorder 2 or 3. I believe the only parts missing at this point are the very start of Ramrod and a beat or two of Cadillac Ranch.
The sources worked with were:
Recorder 1: Hallenstadion '81 (Winged Wheel)
Recorder 2: Hallenstadion Zurich 2LP (Ocean Records Original Black Vinyl Pressing)
Recorder 3: Live In Zurich 1LP (Boss Records Limited Edition 1000 Copies)
"Hallenstadion Zurich" (Recorder 2) also known as "Live In Zurich" or "Zurich" has also been released on CDR as "Rockin' All Over The World".
Recorder 2 and Recorder 3 are very similar in quality and sound but from the audience noise are clearly two different recorders. We are fortunate to have had 3 very good to excellent tapers rolling tapes that night.
Source used are noted in parenthesis and any further details are called out. I did my best to make this as accurate a reflection of the complete show that took place that night as possible even to the point of patching in 10 seconds of audience clapping during the Fire break that was missing from both Recorder 2 and 3. Just under 3 minutes have been added to the show vs Hallenstadion '81.
I worked on this one between other (simpler) projects for a very long time and I was glad to get it done. On with the show!

04 Fire (Hallenstadion '81 (4 seconds of intro only) > Hallenstadion Zurich > Hallenstadion '81 (restored 10 seconds of audience in middle break) > Hallenstadion
