Both sets needed major patching there was a cut on almost every song and some drop outs. 
Speedwise the audience was very fast when compared to other recordings - 1.500 seconds per minute.

View NotesGeneral Notes:

Often overshadowed by the novelty of the night before, this was always 
a favorite show of those I attended because of the great performances 
by all band members.  Highlights include a psychadelic ending on Iko 
(w/Phil on vocals too), a moving China Doll out of a very innovative 
modal jam post UJB, and a thunderous Dew out of Space.

Given the multiple sources available on the Llama, I decided to put the 
effort into editing a matrix since I was never completely happy with 
the SBD. The result is a worthwile listen, especially given that none
of the existing sources are complete

Taper Notes:

View Notesnotes -

This recording was done to capture as much as possable plus a lot of hiss. There were no tape flips requiring fast forwarding or 
rewinding during the actual recording. Side A of the first tape was recorded then Side A of the second cassette.
Everything was then fast forwarded at the break and the B Sides were recorded.

- nice finish for the last show ever at my home town arena
- tracks on cd3 can be added to the end of CD 1 to save space. Will play uninterupted if placed on CD 3 though.

Taper Notes:

View Notes*DSP Notes: Doug Oade performed DSP on the transferred wav files using Waves REQ, RCL and C4 plug ins. IDR used for 32 > 16bit conversions of DAW files.

Doug's DSP comments:
The DSP I did was to accomplish three goals, one is to reduce the dynamic range, without making it sound compressed (very low ratio of 1.25 to 1), the second, to apply EQ in order to partially compensate for the LF rolloff of the mics used and finally, I used the C4 processor to reduce PA or source hiss from space that was brought up in level by the use of RCL.

*1.  The majority of the Bertha opener is missing (due to a late arrival/setup - which was unusual for the Oades).
D.O.: "...we setup late and did not get the first set startup..."

*2.  There is a minor pop near the start of Candyman.
D.O.: "The Candyman pop is a source pop. I remember it being a problem we had with one mic that was repaired prior to the NYE run in 85."

*3.  There is a ~3 second dropout in Drums/Space starting near 02:58.
D.O.: "...it is a hard drop due to a bad spot on the master tape. My DAT has the same drop on it..."

*4.  Part of the intro into the "Baby Blue" encore is missing.
D.O.: "...Baby Blue ... it was a late start, possible battery death after the second set and Jim did not notice it right away, seems like a rough night for the Oade Taping Team!"

Tracked:
CD-R > HD > verified mkw signature file - converted mkw to wav (mkwACT0.97b) > Tracked with CD Wave v.1.91 > compressed with mkwACT0.97b (SHN trackable - sector boundaries verified with shntool v1.02) > CD-R

Comments:

Discs were laid out to try to accommodate 74 minute CDs.  If track 08a (45 seconds of audience before start of 2nd set) is omitted, timing for Disc 1 will be less than 74 minutes.  If you want to include d1t08a, total time for Disc 1 will be 74 minutes and 23 seconds (i.e. consider using 80 minute CD).

The decision was made to start Disc 2 with Uncle Johns Band even though Estimated Prophet segues into Uncle Johns.  Its a minor transition from Estimated to Uncle Johns.  Estimated ends cleanly on Disc 1 and Uncle Johns starts cleanly on Disc 2.

Once you've listened to this recording I think you'll agree that the technical issues (noted above) fade in the light of the magic that was captured in the moment.  I trust you'll appreciate the quality and energy of these shows that the Oades documented so faithfully.

Thank you Doug, Jim and Carlos, for making this material available - for your tireless efforts and selfless dedication to preserving and sharing the music.  ~~Conrad
