This is a Hans De Vente recording as edited by justdave.

justdave's notes:
Han's uploaded this recording as 2 long files, one per tape side. I decoded the files with Traders Little Helper and separated the tracks with Goldwave v6.15. The files were encoded at a 24 bit rate and have been left that way. I did not remix or remaster the recording in any way. The track "The Bed's Too Big Without You" is divided into 2 parts due to a tape flip from side A to side B. The transition between "Roxanne" and "Can't Stand Losing You" was a little rough where Han's paused the tape to save space, I tried to soften that. The transition between "Can't Stand Losing You" and "Next To You" also had a pause that I softened.

This is a rather large file set so I divided the flac into two parts. You need both parts to unzip.

justdave's notes:
The DVD starts with a documentary about Journey and thier touring with The Rolling Stones and the release of the Infinity album. There was also a documentary interview segment right after track 07 "Blues Jam #2 (instrumental)". I encoded the interview segments at the end of the show to make for a better flowing listen. You can listen to the interview tracks or not either way you don't lose any music. I increased the volume of the tracks but did not remaster the audio at all.
