Source: AUD recording
Format: Flac
Lineage: ?>CDR>WAV?Flac
Sound: Fair, but an excellent show for its age!
If you have this show, this version should be a modest upgrade, however it's
still pretty rough. The beginning of the acoustic set is particularly difficult
to hear. There isn't distortion. Rather, it sounds like the taper was
very far away, and using mediocre equipment. There isn't a lot of hiss
that one would expect for a recording this old. I don't think it was traded
much. The original recording was difficult to hear. This one is better, but
not great. Once one gets adjusted to the sound, it's listenable. The only
comparable recording I can think of, in terms of sound, is the LA show in
6/70.
I did a number of things to "improve" the sound. I applied a very small
amount of NR to reduce hiss. I applied EQ to bring out the music as much
as possible and reduce the sound of the hall (which was louder than the
music). I compressed and levelled it because the dynamics were all over
the place and the volume varied wildly.
The reason to download this one regardless of the sound is Crosby's performance
of "Song With No Words (Tree With No Leaves)", Neil's "Expecting To Fly", the
intro jam prior to "Pre-Road Downs", and a 25 minute "Down By The River".
Fortunately, the sound is a little better in these spots.

remaster notes:
this was posted on Dec. 28, 2008 by the chief123 at torrent #229302.
this thing needed MEGA ICPVR (individual clap peak volume reduction) and mike bump
reduction, since there were lots of loud claps and bumps of the mike that
were louder than any music in here. (not any more). the beginning of track 10
had the end of track 9 on it so I've fixed that, and added track times.
I also removed a couple of short gaps (apparently in the source recording)
to make this a seamless, and much smoother listen than it was.
remaster lineage:
flac (wav > flac (sb's aligned) > torrentially yours.
Enjoy or Not!!
