Analog to Digital Transfer: 1/2 track tapes on a
Revox A-700 (tweaked the head azimuth to match the original
recording). Signal fed into DigiDesign Pro Tools on a
Macintosh with Audio Media III sound card. The only post
processing was normalization.

Final digital version assembled by: Noah Weiner - noahbw@home.com

note: Weinberg recorded each set of this show on its own
reel. Both were in very delicate condition at the time
of the transfer (Summer 2001). The set two reel was
degraded so much in sound quality (a tremendous loss of
high end frequencies) that it proved better to used an older
cassette copy of the set two reel for this new distribution.
Also, Sing Me Back Home, Sugar Magnolia, and Casey Jones
had been recorded over on the master reel at some point
prior to the Summer 2001 digital transfer. Evidence of the
current state of the set two reel can be heard on the set two
intro, the first 23 seconds of Bertha, and the set two outro,
which do come from the master reel.

Also, the track list for set one differs from what prior
record keeping indicated. However, this new track order is
direct off the master reel. The old order seems to indicate
that songs were possibly rearranged to fit them more
comfortably onto cassette.note: there are some very slight digital ticks on
tracks d2t12, d2t13 and d3t01. These are confirmed
on the DAT that the transfer came from.
