That's not possible. :( In general, you can't un-mix audio. Of course you can isolate the left & right and there are "tricks" for isolating or removing "centered" vocals.

...There is a tool called spleeter that's supposed to un-mix to some extent but I haven't tried it.

How long is the recording, and how many months are you willing to spend "fixing" it?
It "may" be possible to remove the button clicks one at a time by using a combination of these tools:
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spe ... _tool.html
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spe ... elete.html
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/repair.html
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/cop ... audio.html
but it will be horrendously time consuming.

Applause between songs can be easily edited out, or reduced in level using the "Envelope Tool" (See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/envelope_tool.html)

For more automated fixing, the "Pop Mute" plug-in "may" help to reduce the clicks / applause, but whether or not this is useful depends on the actual audio. See: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyqu ... s#Pop_Mute
Installation instructions for Nyquist plug-ins are here: https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Down ... g_plug-ins

I've tried it. It is a very "technical" tool.
In some cases it can do a very impressive job, but in other cases it is completely ineffective - it depends on the audio.
Spleeter is available here: https://github.com/deezer/spleeter
