TRANSFER/EDITING NOTES:

With this remaster, I tried to make it easier to determine whether this recording is originally from a soundboard source or an audience source. And of course, to make it sound better.After finishing the mastering process, I've started to believe this recording was done close to the stage but off center, maybe on the guitar side of the sound projection. The general mix, or sound of the recording, is fairly unbalanced. However, at times certain instruments are pretty prenounced and actually sound like they could be from a board source. The vocals, for the most part, are either too low, or too loud. This has been remedied somewhat. Then of course there's the screaming. This gets pretty bad at times and definitely buries a lot of the band. On the bright side, it's not as bad as a lot of the live Beatle recordings I've heard and it tends to go away, for the most part, after the beginnning of a song.
When it comes to editing, most of what was done was eq'ing and amplifying certain sections. As the recording was so unbalanced, from increasing some higher frequencies, there would be small sections, mostly vocals, that would have a much higher amplitude than every other section. This meant I had to either leave the tracks at a fairly low volume as to not clip parts of the recording or do something else. These sections of the recording of higher amplitude, mostly a second or less of audio, were dropped a few dB's before eq'ing so that I could still increase the overall amplitude of the track. There was, and still is, a whole lot of low end on this recording. In fact, the frequency range of this recording is very short, containing mostly low end, with some mid and little or none high end frequencies. This makes it very limiting. I've tried to squeeze out as much clarity as possible. Hopefully it sounds a little better. I don't know of many great audience recordings from '66. If this is one, it's an excellent audience recording from that time frame. And it is, of course, the last live Beatles performance. Enjoy.
