Big River | 1976-08-02 | Grateful Dead

View NotesNotes: The tapes have held up surprisingly well after 45 years,
the sound is nice & clear, albeit with some intrusive crowd noise
at times. Mono-mixed patches from ID-141900 were added as follows:

Promised Land (entire track) 0:00 > 4:19
Mississippi Half Step, 0:00 > 9:50
Deal 0:00 > 0:05
Tennessee Jed, 8:06 > 8:23
They Love Each Other 0:00 > 0:07
Loser 0:00 > 0:07
Samson & Delilah, 3:24 > 4:38
Jam (after Wharf Rat) 6:19 > 6:29
Sugar Magnolia (from ID-132697) 8:56 > 9:24

With a big huge thanks to John & Rich Petrunis for these tapes!

Set 1
- Tape has been paused between most tracks, crossfades put in to smooth.
- Reversed fadeout on crowd at end of Loser and crossfaded with Lazy Lightning.
- Cleaned up several other artifacts.

Set 2
-  s2t01 patch at 1:38-1:40, eq'd to more or less match the main source.
- Reversed fade out at the end of crowd on s2t02 and crossfaded with crowd before start of s2t03.
- s2t04 repaired problem at 7:42-7:44. by copying a section from within the same track and adjusting it slightly.
- s2t05 problem at 0:37, sub-second patch put in.
- s2t06 there was a sub-second section that shouldn't have been there, I forgot to keep a note of where it occured.. I removed it and smoothed the join.
- s2t08 removed a problem, i.e I cut out a segment about 1:31 in length. It seems to have been due to a tape problem, it doesn't affect the flow! Again I forgot to make a note of where it was.
- s2t09 3 small patches between 6:22-6:24.
- Cleaned up several other artifacts.

General:
- No need to patch as the "flips" had over-lapping material.
- Slight wind noise from time to time.
- Small amount of hiss removal with Adobe Audition proprietary tool.
- Polished with iZotope Ozone and BBE Sonic Maximiser.
* All reference sources refer to this as Drums but to my way of thinking it should correctly be called "Jam".
