1990-07-06 Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Houston, TX, USA/Source 1

== Notes ==
A very good audience recording. Tracks 1 through 7 and tracks 19 and 20 are sourced from a fresh Nakamichi transfer of the master cassette tapes. Tracks 8 through 18 are sourced from a 1st gen cassette copy to CD-R because master tape #2 out of 3 was unfortunately stolen (a well-deserved "screw you" to whoever stole it!). As such, those tracks are not quite as high-fidelity as the tracks sourced from the master tapes, and have more hiss and distortion than they otherwise should. Waiting For The Night and Strangelove fade in due to tape flips.
Better quality versions of Here Is The House and Sweetest Perfection appear as bonus tracks on the Darkest Feelings bootleg. My guess is that they're sourced from another 1st gen cassette copy with a different transfer, then had some equalization and hiss reduction applied. Those tracks have been merged in to the recording and are available in the "Bonus" folder if you so choose to include them in your recording; be sure to include the modified Waiting For The Night for the proper crossfade between the sources as well. To maintain continuity of sound quality, they are provided as bonus tracks instead of being included with the main fileset.
Many thanks to James K. for providing these cassettes for archival.
