  the end of Set II.

- Jerry on pedal steel*
- Seems strange reading the review of this show in the Taping Compendium.  At that time the only source available was an aud and since no others have shown up I guess it might be this one.  The comment that caught my eye was that "Dark Star" stood out because it seemed of much better quality than the rest of the recording. In fact pretty much the whole of Set II sounds better than Set I.

Notes:

- DC offset and pitch corrected
- There is some light wow and flutter but I haven't attempted to fix that.
- Where tracks are missing or the taper paused, crossfades have been put in to smooth it out. A number of tracks are clipped at the start.
- Quite a number of dropouts have been repaired.
- There are two patches in each of "Dark Star",  "Big Boss Man" and the first two or three seconds of "NFA" has been patched on. The source used is shnid 136683, a sbd that was originally credited to an anonymous donor. I can now reveal that it came to me from my friend, the late Harvey Lubar. I decided to change it to mono and then add some ambience so that it is a better fit. Harv is probably turning in his grave at the thought of that because he didn't like his sources patched if the patch was inferior, which most times they were.
- I have used some eq, mostly to adjust the bottom end.
