I was at this concert and recorded it from the front of the balcony, on a Sanyo M9922 stereo Compact Cassette deck, using a crossed pair of dynamic microphones, clamped to the arm of my seat using a modified retort stand with clamps and transcribed onto TDK C120 tapes, then post-mastered on TDK tape. As I left the C120 running at the end of the first set, I also recorded the interlude announcement. There was no noise reduction on the deck, hence the tape hiss. some wow and flutter is noticeable during the piano sections. I used to take my large recording gear setup to gigs in an ex-RAF blue haversack. I was never challenged in those days. I subsequently recorded the 1986 concert at the Royal Court, using a Sony WM-D6Pro unit with Dolby B. I bought it from Beaver Radio on Whitechapel, and I still have it - still going strong after four decades.
Once owned - way back in the early 80s -a SonyC120 tape of the whole show - fine quality too - until one day I accidentally damaged the cassette, rendering it useless. So it's good to hear it again after so many years. A wonderful concert.
Whenever I bootlegged a concert on cassette or open reel, as soon as I got them home, I made a copy and thereafter only ever used the copy to play and to create copies for friends. I always kept the masters safe. Since switching to digital recorders, I adopt a similar technique, in that I first make a digital master on an optical disk or a Jazz drive, and then make a general use copy. This generally worked well for me, apart from when I recorded Pink Floyd's Live 8 performance onto Minidisc. Before I could get to copy to a backup, it got into the hands of a female friend who managed to destroy it. Arrrght!!
