Since its an analog recording, if someone left the tape flips intact, there should be a section somewhere of just the noise. Failing that, there might be a quiet section of the concert where there is no other sound/applause/music to sample from.

Sometimes if a recording needs EQ, it may be best to EQ first, then do the noise reduction. Experiment. Your first results may sounds good today but may sound horrible down the road.
I can't get it. I only have phone and tablet. Would you mind if I sent it to you and could repair it for me?
