Mastering notes:
- There are a number of bursts of wind noise throughout.  I have been able to
  remove some of these completely, and the impact of what remains has been reduced.
- It appears that the tape was stopped between some songs, I have crossfaded to
  smooth these spots.
- (1) there is a cut at 12:56 and an unknown amount missing at the end, I
      crossfaded to smooth the cut
  (2) unknown amount missing at start
  (3) large pop removed in left channel, at 1:45, by copying in right channel, so
      the sound is briefly in mono
- Editing with Adobe Audition, Sony Soundforge and Steinberg Wavelab (with iZotope
  Ozone, Waves X-Crackle & X-Noise)
- Downsampled to 16/44.1 with Wavelab and dithered with iZotope Ozone (MBIT+
  setting)
- Tracked with CD Wave and flacs encoded with Flac Frontend

Comments:
- * As the song starts Weir says "Tomorrow's Sunday, we're not gonna be here, so
  we're going to take advantage of today to give you some inspirational words of
  advice."
- ** Right before the song starts Weir says "Thank you for your kind appreciation."
- Pop or banging sound at 5:30 of Playing, possibly a firework report.
- Deadicated to RET, he would have revelled in this Terrapin!
