Editor's Notes:
- upgrade vs. SHN-ID# 106352: http://archive.org/details/lf1974-11-04.aud.unknown.106352.sbeok.flac16
- a remarkable stereo audience recording for 1974! and another killing rendition of 'The Fan'.
- the phase is near-perfect and rock steady throughout and the frequency response is above 19 kHz
- 3 tape lead-ins can be heard on the source transfer, so at best it's a 2nd generation analog source; reported as R>R>cas>cdr
- the last 6 minutes of Fragment B (Willin') was repeated at the start of Fragment C (to avoid introducing a mid-song tape flip in the copied cassettes)
- there is a lot of clapping throughout this gig
Restoration:
- corrected DC offset errors
- declipped channels separately
.Fragment A: R-channel, up to 2.42 db recovered; L-channel, up to 1.28 dB recovered
.Fragment B: up to 1.13 dB recovered
- split into 3 fragments at recording breaks
- balanced and gain normalized each fragment
- removed repeated segment and re-joined Fragments B and C (see "Source Tape Layout" for details)
- reduced broadband noise by 1.9 dB
- minor gain and balance adjustments to the first 50s of part A
- gain correction for volume change in middle of part B (14:18-ff)
- repaired clicks, pops, and crackle
- attenuated close claps during music
- tracked
