Once again we tap the extensive archives of long time taper/collector Dan S with an upgrade to the December 6, 1984 Birmingham, Alabama show.

There is only one source available for this show, in that source the last two songs are noted as coming from a lossy version. 

The version offered here is a low gen upgrade of the same source and should be considered an upgrade in that it is completely lossless. It might also be a very slight quality upgrade as well. I have removed a number of offending audience noises (whistles and screams).

As for quality, it is a distant recording that was captured towards the back of the arena or higher up, the raw capture leans towards the high end and I have restored some of the absent low end. It is a clear capture with little to no hiss but based on recording location I would consider it average. Samples provided.

Special thanks to goody for his assistance in getting the pitch dialed in on this one, it was not steady throughout and took some extra effort on each side to get it correct.

I can't say enough how thankful we are to Scrips for allowing the presentation of his deep archives for all to enjoy and to those who continue to upgrade shows.
