TRANSFER/EDITING NOTES:
Remastering this show has been both frustrating and rewarding. I acquired the source recording as per the WW07 WhoWeeds torrent seeded some time ago on dimeadozen. The sound quality of the recording was listenable but very muddy and pretty dull sounding overall, about an average sound quality for a mid 70's Who audience recording. The show seemed to be very high energy and intense but needed to be uncovered from the mud. I attempted to get as close to the master quality as possible and maybe surpassing it.

Here are the the major edits and adjustments:
Various amounts of EQ were used for obvious reasons. Firstly, like many audience recordings, because of the size and dimensions of this venue, a high amount of reflecting surfaces and areas create noise and boomy and ringing overtones. It is a baseball stadium after all!
Large amounts of EQ are used in some sections with very unbalanced frequenecy response.
A small amount of hiss reduction was used at times in very noisy parts of the recording. Remember though, barely any noise reduction is used on this recording. I didn't want to sacrifice any quality for a higher signal to noise ratio. Overall I think this was a good choice.
I've cut and pasted some small sections as well as fading in/out sections that have errors or unnecessary audio sections.
The channels have been slightly mixed together to get a fuller tone.
Each track was mastered slightly differently depending on the overall quality of the track. Each channel was mastered and edited seperately as they contained different audio information, ie. stereo mix.


That pretty well does it for the general edits I did to this recording. I haven't changed the pitch at all. I never really tested it but it sounds right to me. Close enough for the 'OO anyways. Enjoy!
