Notes:

I received this video in a DVD trade from Jimmy Mac. It was a bare standalone capture, which I later learned was made by Dan Sisler from his VHS. Thank you to Dan for the great video.

This was just suffering from the normal stuff that's expected, some of which was able to be improved. The audio on the DVD was from the VHS source and was an FM source before that. It was in mono and had some of the usual problems as well as radio commercials in between songs. The picture quality was very good. This upgrade is that video synched with the Pre-FM soundboard audio source, some minor patching and touch up, menus and chapters, etc.

The Pre-FM audio source did not include the soundcheck which was on the video. After searching for an audio upgrade for the soundcheck to no avail, the audio that was on the original DVD was used, with some slight alterations. There was a noticeable hiss throughout, and noise reduction was applied to the parts in between songs, but not during any of the music. A radio commercial was replaced with crowd noise from the Pre-FM source.

Also, during the show, there were about 3 minutes after Sugaree, about 1.5 minutes after Passenger, and about 1 minute during the encore break of crowd noise missing from the primary audio source. The gaps were covered with crowd noise from other parts and crossfades applied.

There were about 15 seconds of video missing during idle time in between Stagger Lee and Passenger, and about 30 seconds of video missing during Fire On The Mountain which were filled in with graphics.

The audio source had several level drops in the right channel during Me & My Uncle > Big River. These were smoothed somewhat by adjusting the L/R inputs in the right channel over each spot. At the same point where the right channel issues started there was a quick swell in the left channel which was quieted. During Drums there was a section cut about 20 seconds long on the audio source that repeated itself, possibly from a tape flip overlap in the DAT transfer.

Much thanks to everyone else who made this one possible. Enjoy. -Pat
