A little history (for those who care):

This set was the second of three that SCI played at their first (and only to date) Merlefest.
It was played at about 1PM during a pouring rainstorm. It didn't seem to stop the action and
to this date remains probably the single best set of SCI I've had the honor to witness.

This DSBD surfaced a little while back. Merlefest is a notoriously non-taping festival, to
the extent that when JonO extended a patch at the Main Stage on 4/27, festival authorities
made him pull it back. It is essentially flawless, aside from a few spots of static here
and there which are minor, but should be noted. I would assume they are related to the
miserable weather that was happening.

For the transfer, I ran the Clipped Peak Restoration tool in Soundforge to remove some of
areas where my tape was overblown. In addition, the first two minutes of the show were
balanced from a level standpoint with how the rest of the show sounds. I hope you enjoy
the results of the work and hope this set brings you as much enjoyment as it has brought me.
