Eugene, OR? Santa Monica? I think there'a a variety of 
recordings of Eugene out there but the one I had on hand 
was too piss-poor to subject anybody to.

I have the "Swingin' Pig" version. But I find the show
unlistenable due to the obvious fatigue and the ravaged 
voice.

Okay, let me say upfront I wasn't trying to be 
a smartass or bait anybody or anything like that.

Well, in the same way that some pros insist that a 
crashing cymbal is the acid test of a compression 
method's validity, I feel that way about handclaps 
close to an audience mic. To my ears, it's an 
unmistakeable tell.  If you have the "Bitch Can 
Wail" CD, compare the audience noise before she 
speaks with what's on the torrent, and even 
(although to a lesser extent) her speaking about 
taking lessons from her son. Once the band starts, 
things are much less distinguishable. 

Of course, maybe BCW is actually an expertly done
cleanup which hides existing artifacts, but it just
sounds fuller and smoother to me.
