Met Centennial Gala - 1983 - Unreleased bits (Upgraded Sound)

The official DVD, despite being 4 hours long, only has slightly more than half of the selections that day (Yep, that’s right, a whole day). Here is most of the material that only aired once. Not available in stereo like the official releases, but I did what I could to clean up the broadcast audio.
