DVD 77; lineage: FM recording broadcast on WNEW radio Live. source: CD version of the master tapes obtained from the
broadcasting radio station WNEW. Remastered as PRRP009 "OPEN THE GATES."

Notes from the Re-master:

Since the source for this concert is a radio broadcast, the sound quality is generally
good to begin with. The actual source was a CD version of the master tapes obtained from the
broadcasting radio station WNEW. We would like to thank Shaun Toole for providing this source to
us.
Viable music signal was present up to 18,000 Hz. This is quite rare for progressive rock
concerts available from the 1970ís and makes this recording quite unique. A radio transmission
or microphone / patch cord buzz occurred in the left channel off and on throughout the show and
needed to be corrected. Fortunately, the buzz was specifically identified in the frequency
spectrum and was surgically attacked. This approach produced a minimal effect on the remainder
of the music. Pops and clicks occurred frequently and were manually removed. Radio announcer
volume was out of proportion to the music in some segments and needed to be adjusted. Finally,
only a slight amount of noise reduction was needed during quite segments.
