All Night Long Intro - 1:09 14. All Night Long - 2:50 I'd say this is a soundboard as opposed to a stage mic but that's just my guess. I have adjusted a couple of things. First, the volume for the stage banter was very low, so I increased volume 9db, because of that, tape hiss became apparent so I used some NR, as well, I felt this disc needed re-tracking (String Quartet and Charles Ives were lumped together, the first few seconds of BtS were included with Corrido etc) and since some of the song intros are a bit lengthy, I gave them their own seperate tracks. Also, I removed a couple of dead spots between Bacon Fat/Lonely Nights and Oh, In the Sky/All Night Long but other than that this is a direct copy of the disc. |
