Blue Öyster Cult - New Georges, San Rafael, CA 1988 Complete

I got a copy of this Blue Öyster Cult concert some years ago, sourced from a KRW CO transfer from a broadcast. However this recording has some problems, noticeable channel balance issues, tape speed running too slow, some small cuts, one big cut on DFTR and no encores.
So after seeing the complete show uploaded at Blue Öyster Cult's official youtube page I decided to take that audio, which is probably from a camera's microphone and build the entire performance correcting as best as possible the mentioned defects.
Of course I'd prefer a better and complete fm or soundboard but this way we have the whole concert.
B.Ö.C. live is a serious rock'n'roll machine though I don't think they have bad studio albums (I hear someone mentioning Club... ?) .
Well, after many years with absence of studio records the band is working on a new album probably coming out this year. That's very good news!
