Notes:

- it was neccessary to re-assemble the show in the correct running order as it had been cut up to
   fit on the tapes.
- dc offset removed
- all tracks have been pitch corrected using the circulating sbd as a guide.  They were running between
   4% and 10% too fast
* tuning and the first 1:32 of "Alabama Getaway" patched in from shnid 10548.
- the first 7 seconds of "Althea" are missing.
- the start of "Might As Well" is clipped, 3 or 4 notes are missing.
- The first 6:52 of "Althea", all of "Might As Well"and the first 1:42 of "Man Smart, Woman Smarter"
   have an inferior sound quality.  They sounded quite muffled  and have a higher level of tape hiss,
   compared to the rest of the show.  I have brightened these sections to make them sound more
   consistent with the other tracks.  
-  there is a problem with "Man Smart, Woman Smarter"at 4:11.
- the tape was paused between songs, or these sections were cut out when the tapes were originally
   assembled, on a number of occasions.  Crossfades have been put in to smooth these out.



Comments:

This recording reveals that the circulating sbd has approximately 2:49 missing from "Eyes Of The World",
2:22 from the end of the first verse to about half way through the second and 27 seconds at the end.  Also
about 4 seconds at the start of "Good Lovin'" that is missing from the sbd.  Only about 8 seconds of music is
missing from the whole show!

This is somewhat of a "Curate's Egg" as regards the sound.  When it's good it's very good and there ARE a lot of very good parts!  Hopefully this version will prompt someone to dig deep and come up with a better copy of what is a great show.



Thanks to Uncle Barry for providing the tapes and Roeret for helping me out with the patch source
