| Media | CD-R/SHN 2 discs |
| Notes | Uknown Source: This is a speed corrected and restored version of the complete 4-disc set that is circulating. It replaces that set and an older 3-disc version that cut off during "Comes A Time". |
| Tech Notes | The 4-disc source was missing the beginning of "Dark Star" and "He's Gone". Those parts were restored using clips from the 3-disc set. Also restored was a short blurb from Weir at the end of "Morning Dew". "Ramble On Rose" has been moved to the beginning of disc 3 where it belongs. Detailed notes on the restoration are below. ** Restoration notes ** Source tapes: SourceA - A complete version of the show and the primary source for this recording, but the beginning of "Dark Star" and "He's Gone" are missing. Tape speed is fast by .95% to 1.5%. Volume levels on most tracks had been pushed to the point that there is digital clipping, although it is largely inaudible. Disk 1 has several clicks. SourceB - A 178 minute version that ends part way through "Comes A Time", but with a complete "Dark Star" and "He's Gone". The volume levels are 7 dB lower than SourceA, there is more tape hiss, and it runs 2.25% slow. Both of theses sources came, ultimately, from the same soundboard tape. For this restoration, I used Cool Edit Pro as my WAV editor. Also used were Sonic Foundry's Clipped Peak Restoration tool from Noise Reduction 2.0a, and Wave's X-Noise noise reduction tool from Restoration Bundle 1.0. Noise reduction was done only on the missing parts of "Dark Star" and "He's Gone" from SourceB. All tracks had the DC Offset corrected to zero. And most of the tracks were run through Clipped Peak Restoration with the post-limiter enabled. The speed correction probably won't be noticable to anyone but musicians who try to play along with the music. <G> Silence that was removed was actual silence, not quiet time between songs. Finally, I changed no EQ settings or volume levels except on the clips from SourceB. * Disc 1 (all tracks slowed by 1.25% except T13, 1.5%) D1T01 Removed click at 3:08 D1T03 Removed click at 4:04 D1T06 Removed click at 4:40 D1T07 Smoothed tape transition at 4:40 D1T10 Removed 18 seconds of silence at the end of the track and a 2 1/3 second clip that was a repeat of the beginning of "China Cat Sunflower". How it ended up here I'll never know. D1T11 Removed clicks at 2:40 & 2:47 & 2:54 D1T13 Removed 2 minutes 48 seconds of silence at the end of the track * Disc 2 (all tracks slowed by 1.5%) D2T02 Smoothed tape transition at 3:19 slowed 1.75% D2T03 Remove 7.4 seconds of redundant sound at 4:54. slowed 1.75% D2T04 Removed 1/3 second of redunant sound at 0:18.6 * Disc 3 (all tracks slowed by .95%) D3T01 Remove 2 minutes 39 seconds of silence at the end of the track D3T02 After speeding up SourceB 2.25%, boosting volume levels 7dB, and applying noise reduction and EQ, the first 1:13 was pasted onto the beginning of the SourceA "Dark Star". Not quite as seamless as the "He's Gone" patch due to differences in the stereo fields of the two sources, but still pretty darn good. D3T03 SourceB had this line from Weir tagged on at the end of this track. I cleaned it up as best I could and added it to SourceA. "We're gonna pause for a moment, and scratch our asses and drink a little cold and wet liquid." * Disc 4 (T01 & T02 slowed by 1.25%, the rest by .95%) D4T01 Speed up SourceB 2.25%, boosted levels 7dB and applied noise reduction to match SourceB to SourceA. Patched 39 seconds, the intro and 1st verse, from SourceB onto the beginning of SourceA. The splice is undetectable except for a subtle shift of the vocal in the stereo field. D4T06 Removed 34 seconds of silence at the end The splice is undetectable except for a subtle shift of the vocal in the stereo field. D4T06 Removed 34 seconds of silence at the end |
