Notes Source Mix Notes:
The Jerry Moore source of this show has better sound quality than the Sandy Troy recording, but the Sandy Troy
recording is more complete. Both sources needed speed adjustment.

Jerry Moore source 1: -1.5% because it was running fast
Sandy Troy source 2: +3.7% because it was running slow

I used the Sandy Troy source to patch the first ~2 seconds of the show and during Jean-Luc Ponty's chatter before
Renaissance from 53:58.804 - 53:59.603. Interestingly, the tuning break before Renaissance seems to be cut in the
Sandy Troy source. I crossfaded the sources for about 1 second when possible. The Sandy Troy source is louder
than the Jerry Moore source so I had to deamplify it.

I copied the right channel to the left from 53:58.804-53:59.603 to "repair" a dropout during Lost Forest. Because
there are significant differences between the channels in this stereo soundboard, this is somewhat noticeable.

The encore is entirely missing from the Jerry Moore source. The audio also fades out after Aurora at the same
point on the Sandy Troy source so this source mix is still not continuous.

I did this work in Audacity on a combined single track. I exported the results as retracked FLAC files and used
TLH to fix SBE/create a checksum.
