Notes

Master reel to reel > equalizer > cdr > pitch adjustment

CD#1 First set
CD#2 Second set


This recording sounds like one channel soundboard and one channel audience, as do other circulating tapes from this club. It's definitely got an ambient sound with quite a bit of tape hiss but sounds fairly decent - especially after the speed correction.

Pitch-adjustment - slowed by 4.2% (minus 1 semitone plus 25 cents in Pro Tools). Evened out some level changes. Channel dropouts eliminated when possible or improved by pasting in from the good channel with crossfades between the stereo and mono sections. Also seamlessly removed transient noises in a few spots and retracked with one set on each CD.

Jim Murray, Gary Duncan, John Cipollina, David Freiberg, Greg Elmore.
