Grateful Dead   05/26/1977

Baltimore Civic Center, Baltimore, MD
Source Soundboard > 7 inch Master Reels @7.5ips 1/2 track -> DAT(s) -> ZA2 -> CDR (x1)-> EAC -> SHN
Media CDR   3 discs
Tech Notes Comments: The material missing from the Soundboard source during
Estimated and Around & Around due to master reel flips was spliced
in by Scott Clugston from his copy of the Jerry Moore-recorded Master Audience Cassette: Sony ECM-33p mics > Sony TC-158 > D source.

Specifically, the audience source supplies patches in
"Estimated Prophet" (d3t02) from 0:48 thru 1:10, as well as in
"Around & Around" (d3t06) from 2:39 thru 3:07.

Additionally, Scott smoothed out the gaps/noise caused by the
master reels being turned off/on in between songs and removed a
handful of minor "pops", "ticks" and "clicks" that were present
between songs.

With the Aud patches, disc 3 now runs 74:12

Finally, several versions of this show simultaneously entered circulation in early February, 2001. This copy is derived from the
version that was initially circulated by aoxoa and shn'ed from
aoxoa's master cds by direwolf. As initially circulated, this version
lacked the audience splices and the reel pause edits. The aud splices
were added to the extracted shns and the between-song reel pauses,
"pops", "ticks" and "clicks" were removed from the extracted shns
using cooledit pro, and the shns were then re-split using cdwav.
The integrity of the sector boundaries was confirmed using shntool.

The other version, circulated by David Gans, was supposedly derived from the aoxoa-sourced dat and was not used for this distribution
because a) it was supposedly subject to digital equalization and b)
the missing material caused by the reel flips on the Gans-seeded
version were patched with soundboard recordings from other May, 1977
performances.
