J-Card Comment:

Some 10+ years ago I did a transfer of this show using average equipment and before I knew too much about digitzing tapes. That version I traded to Pink Robert and it eventually found it's way here at least in 2006 and maybe earlier. A few things I realized about that first transfer, I had no clue what I was doing on eq'ing, smoothing the levels, taking out pops/clicks and likely used noise reduction in the process and had no clue about azimuth adjustment. In addition, why I didn't patch the missing part of Heavy Love I'll never know.

I've been planning to revisit this show for some time and once I confirmed I was smart enough to not toss the tape after the first transfer (and re-found it), I finally found time to take on a new transfer.

Anyone that has the previous version knows there are a number of problems with the Soundboard source of this show in volume fluctuation and few pops & clicks.

Here are the fixes I've made:
Smoothed and leveled ending of Sugar Mountain
Smoothed and leveled start of Needle & The Damage Done
Boosted drop in volume in the middle section of Needle & The Damage Done
Removed a number of pops & clicks in the source tape

Regarding the SB tape (3rd Generation) any Eq'ing was very slight, it always bothered me that Neil's guitar seems to be buried in the mix and the vocals pushed forward so I pulled the guitar frequencies forward just a touch to help balance it a bit better, this improved the acoustic section more than the electric section.

As for my Audience master, though it's not as good as the Dallas show I taped the next night, all in all, I was not disappointed with it considering the location I was taping from.

So here you have a fresh transfer that makes, for the first time, the SB/AUD mix complete with no missing sections.

I'll share the audience master soon for those that want it all.

Enjoy!
