Flaws: Exact lineage is unknown before it was on cdr prior to the eac extraction. The hiss in this recording suggests that there is at least one or two cassette gens in there somewhere. I ran a slight hiss reduction in the remastering, but removing to much of the hiss would have altered the sonic quality of the overall seed, so a very slight hiss remains.
D1t01: Changes in Latitudes cuts in with the first few seconds missing!
D1t10: Margaritaville cuts in at the beginning and most of the first verse is missing, and then it cuts out again at the end, right in the middle of a verse. AWFUL!!
D2t01: Pirate Looks at 40 cuts in at the beginning. These 2 cuts are absolutely horrible and I considered not seeding this at all due to these horrible cuts. They are truly sinful. But since early Buffett soundboards are impossible to locate, the rest of the material on this recording makes up for the awful cuts in these 2 songs. I split the tracks up so the disc flip would occur in this spot. The cut is not quite as horrible when you need to change discs, but it still sucks big lemon wedges.
Because the cut comes at ~46 minutes into the set, this is likely due to a tape flip on the master, and the taper didn't notice until the tape side was over. Givin the amount of drug references in the songs, I'd be willing to bet the entire crew was wasted, and it's likely that whoever taped this missed the tape flip (to busy doing lines), however, this is purely speculation. The true reason will never be known.
D2T02: Tape flip or other inconsistency a split second before This Hotel Room
Don't let the flaws scare you away. Despite them all, this is an excellent recording of a really good show. Especially good for the era in which is was recorded.

Very... very awesome!! Can't wait to check this thing out. Buffett soundboard is rare! Thank you so much for this post.
Just got done listening to this. It sounds like it has gone through quite a few transistions in it's life. Pretty muddy sound, most likely not helped by the "tape hiss reduction".
BUT...
Fantastic show. It is always good to hear this early Buffett. Before all the money!!
Thank you for this post again QB!!
Would LOVE to hear any more Buffett shows you happen upon.
