Taper Notes:

View NotesThis is the older of two currently circulating soundboard sources for this show.
The newer one is highly compressed and I think the older one has better dynamics.
Both will be available from the OBV.

Most tunings were cut on this source. They were restored from a SBD>MR>C>C>CD source
that I have had for some time. Other patches were supplied by the AUD tape,
AUD: Sony ECM-280>Sony TC-153SD>MC>RR>DAT>CDR. Here is a general summary.
The cut start of Estimated was restored from the Aud source.
The glich in Sugaree patched with the Aud source.
The glich in Sampson patched with the Aud source.
The glich in Music was was patched with the alt SBD source.
The glich in Franklin's was patched with the alt SBD source.
The flip in Around patched with the Aud source.
Lots of misc. pops removed.
All patches were processed to match the source as best as possible.
All editing and mastering done with DCArt Millennium Software.

View NotesREEL PROBLEMS: 
- Sugaree (d1t05)  6:59 - 7:01 there is a funny reel generated boo  boo

- PITB (d2t01)  8:42 another reel problem

- Franklin's (d2t09)  there is a reel change in there that is one of the  better ones we've heard.

ALL of these are in every copy I have heard and are believed to be from the Master Reel.

Notes:

1) A faint, warbly sound begins during Eyes onward, apparently from the sound system since the AUD has a similar effect. 

2) Several brief cuts were in both SBD and AUD, but did not overlap, making the show now complete.

Thank you to Jace, Tim Diebert and Trailmix for the SBD transfer,
to Joe B. Jones for help with pitch correction,
and to Rob Bertrando for recording the show and generously providing the AUD, as well as feedback.
