Most of you will know the format of the 1983 shows which were MC'd by Newell Alexander in the role of Dan Clear. 
During intervals between sets Clear would interview crew, musicians etc and between interviews there would be
old TV ads and shows playing. The original tapes for this concert ran a monster 2hours 41 mins. The taper turned his 
machine on at the start and left it running pretty much - apart from tape flips - for the rest of the show - interviews 
/ intervals / music - even the PA broadcast of "The Star Spangled Banner" at the end. This clearly required some editing 
and I have tried to do the right thing for everyone. 

If you have never heard a full version of of a show from this tour you may wish to download the Dan Clear segments to give 
you some idea of his involvement - tracks 1, 12, 13, 14, 22. These have been carefully edited to remove dead time and TV ads etc
- as a result the commentary and interviews run almost continuously - in reality there were often stretches in between where 
the audience amused themselves. However should you choose to omit tracks 1, 12, 13, 14 and 22 the rest will still form a 
coherent concert. 

From a technical point of view the only thing I did outside of this was balance channels where necessary.

There is an issue during Helpless where the taper either leaves his seat or covers the mic.
