This is my attempt to clean up this Tarantura bootleg, crushed by compression as per usual. Each track has a different level of compression on it, so I had to normalize them all to match the least compressed one (kind of like how an orchestra tunes to the flattest clarinet) before I could begin working.
Son And Daughter through Liar were not compressed nearly as badly as the rest of the show, so I tried to EQ the rest of the show to sound closer to it. I'm generally pleased with the results, but it definitely sounds better in speakers than in headphones. There seems to be some kind of phase cancellation that is fixed by converting it to mono, but so much clarity would be lost so I left it alone. Anyone who has a better grasp on that stuff than me is welcome to take a further stab at this.
I also merged in part of one song from source 1 (which was unfortunately only ever shared on YouTube).

Enjoy, and convert to lossy only for your own (ab)use !
This has to be one of THE best versions of Liar. Freddie get's off on the audience and Roger drums the shit out of the damn thing. Right up there with May 1, 1975.
