My tape ends with "True Love" from the 2nd set. I wanted to track down another copy of it. I asked long time JA collector Rick Martin if he could supply me with another version. He was happy to send me what he had. Once I had those flacs I began to realize that my cassette copy had additional material on it. I decided to use my cassette as a filler where it was needed. I carefully compared the 2 versions I had in front of me and found quite a few differences. My cassette is inferior quality to the flac version, but the parts I did use as patches did improve this as a whole. My tape had the opening song "She Has Funny Cars". I used the entire track here and it runs seamlessly into the next track. The flacs had a tiny tape cut between tracks 7 and 8. I used a 12 second piece as filler at the beginning of track 08 "Solidarity". The flacs on track 9 had a quick fade out after "Wooden Ships", then "Freedom" cuts in. The song "America" was missing. I used my tape source to patch in the missing song for track 10. Yet, noticeably lesser quality. At the end of their first set after they play "Freedom", the flac source is cut off. I added a 14 second snippet to the very end of track 11, when Grace says thank you and that she's going to the bathroom to read a full novel and be back in 15 minutes. At this point Hot Tuna enters the stage and plays their 5 song set. My tape contains the full Hot Tuna set (5 songs) in sub-par quality. My tape then keeps rolling as Grace mentions Jorma and Jack at the end of their set, followed immediately with Grace and Paul starting the beginning of their set 2. I don't hear a tape cut at all on my tape between Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane sets. My Set 2 starts with a speaking intro, that seamlessly jumps to "True Love". But we know there were 4 songs that preceded "True Love" at the beginning of set 2. The Flac version is missing this intro portion of JA's set 2. I used a 90 second patch at the beginning of set 2 here. I made it a separate track 12. It's just Grace and Paul talking before they start into "True Love". I also performed a channel alignment. What that means is, when I viewed the wave channels side by side, I noticed that the peaks weren't lined up together and that the right channel was running ahead of the left channel. This can create a false delay effect. Even though it's only milliseconds, for fidelity reasons, it's still an issue. So I manually lifted the right channel and moved it back to make both channels run side by side perfectly even. A couple other things to make note of: At the very end of Track 14 "Crown of Creation", the last 7 seconds are missing. The band is supposed to sing together and hold a note until the end, but the recording is cut off. During the middle of track 15 "White Rabbit", there are a couple quick tape cuts. These briefs cuts are at 0:57 and 1:18 min. At this point my work here is done. I will say this. The last song of the night "Planes" is the most gawd awful song ever written by this band and should be stricken from their catalog. Don't you dare go to Youtube/Vevo and watch the video they made for it, you can never un-see it. You've been warned HA HA HA. I'm sure somewhere out there, a JA collector probably has the full Sbd tapes. At this point in time, I don't know about any other sources. I hope all you JA fans can appreciate this Combo version.
