Notes from TheTooleMan, September 2004

This is my second and final remaster of this recording. In the first attempt I used the inferior bootleg "Live in Amsterdam," but this version is made from the far-superior low-generation recording seeded on EZ Torrent a week ago.

Each track of this remaster has been examined with a fine-toothed comb. Static has been removed from several spots in the source recording, and a few gaps or drop-outs in the original tapes were eliminated. Tracks markers have been adjusted to better correspond with the beginning or ending of songs, some comments have been merged into single tracks and others separated from the music when they ran fairly long, hiss has been reduced, bass has been increased, levels for the comments have been increased, abrupt volume changes have been smoothed, and the overall recording's dynamics have been adjusted to give it more power and a wider stereo field.

The pitch of the recording was sharp, and it has been brought down by 50 cents to normal pitch (that really is "E" Pete is playing when he tunes his guitar now). Some slight speed variations are still audible in the recording.
