Notes:
Fifty-Nine distracting “out of sync” claps deleted on disc 1 track 4.
The tape was flipped during Olin Arageed and the two pieces were spliced together (disc 1 track 4 at 17:00).
A microphone became unplugged during Olin Arageed and a psudo stereo mix was created (disc 1 track 4 from 18:45 to 19:30).
A piece of applause from an earlier track has been tacked onto the applause after New Minglewood Blues (disc 1 track 9 from 4:50 to 5:24).
The tape was again flipped during Fire On The Mountain .
To fill in the missing section 12 seconds from an alternate source recorded by Reinhart Hohlwein was inserted (disc 2 track 6 from 11:35 to 11:47).
Finally the last tape flip is during Not Fade Away (disc 3 track 6 at 0:36).
These breaks were spliced together with NERO wave editor.
NERO wave editor was also used to make volume adjustments and to surgically remove distracting “claps” one at a time.
Finally Audacity was used to dither the files to 16 bits and the FLAC conversion was performed at level 8.
As a note, the Sony ecm-280 cardiod microphone specification page describes the frequency response as 30 to 18KHz.
No Eq or Noise reduction used.
There is a slight fluttering noise in the master cassettes during the quieter sections.
Thanks to John Musgrave for the use of his recording equipment.
