Tape flip after Our Summer, missing the opening seconds of In The Meadow... I mucked it up, I should have turned it over during the encore break after In The Meadow.

Unlike other gigs from this period they didn't use an intro tape for this gig.  The audience were in a very exuberant mood that night, there's lots of weird stuff being shouted out and I think Julianne was getting annoyed by the end.

During some of this recording there's a weird swishing sound which is presumably caused by tape deterioration, but it only becomes really noticeable During Our Summer & In The Meadow.  The swishing seems to come with each full rotation of the tape, as if one half of the reel has deteriorated more than the other. (If you look at the waveform spectrally you can see it going up and down.)  I've never had a tape do this before, but possibly it's because it's a tape I'd reused, and re-used tapes often don't seem to survive as well as recordings made to a new tape.  Luckily it was a TDK, and it'd only been used once before so it didn't suffer as badly as London Astoria 1988.03.27.

According to www.goony.nl/aae/concerts.htm there's a version of this gig circulating ... but the setlist doesn't match, so I think that the other version is a mislabelled gig.
