SBD>>MR>>DAT>>SS>>CDA>>EAC>>SHN>>DAW(Bertha)>>CDA/SHN - Sound A
(Between songs from the two-track master reels)

Digitally remastered using a custom built, Dual-DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com on January 4, 2004.

Thanks to Peter Braverman for his fine work.

From the Braverman text file and prior to Bertha Remastering:

Source:
SBD>16 Track Master Reels>DAT@44.1K>DAT>DAT>WAV>SHN
DAT>WAV via Sony SDT-9000 DDS drive using VDAT 0.6f
WAV was edited in Soundforge 4.0 (crossfading of reel cuts between
songs, no music was disturbed except for Sugar Magnolia)
WAV>SHN via CDWAV 1.53>MKW 0.97b
Tech Notes Note: After capturing the video, the audience soundtrack (from the video) was exported and then loaded into Adobe Audition along with a copy of the sbd audio. Then, an unique note at approximately 1 minute intervals on the video soundtrack was found and matched to the same note from the sbd. Some modification (ie stretching or shrinking) to the length of these segment was required in order for the sbd to flawlessly match the captured video. The original video audience track was then muted and the sbd tracks imported as background music prior to creating the master dvd.

The video was captured at 720x480 resolution (DVD) at 6000bits\sec to create the original mpeg2 file. After the sound was imported and the dvd burned, the mpeg2 file was rendered to 352x240 to make VCD disks. Takes either (1) dvds or (2) vcds.

Audio\Video Flaws:
1) First 2 minutes 58 seconds of video used the video soundtrack as no matching soundtrack is available.

2) Some vocals\talking during the Playin in the Band segment were mixed in from the video soundtrack.

3) The last 1 minutes and 38 seconds of Playin in the Band was added from the audio soundtrack to give a better flow. Video was filled in using clips from the movie slowed down by a factor of 3.

4) Between Playin and Promised Land, video soundtrack was used as no matching audio from soundboard.

5) Between Jack Straw and Dark Star, video soundtrack was used as no matching audio from soundboard.

6) About 23 minutes into Dark Star, 2.9 seconds were missing from the video - inserted transition with no loss of sound.

7) Between El Paso and Greatest Story, video soundtrack was used as no matching audio from soundboard.

8) No other flaws noted during show
