the tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & 
synch the SBD & AUD sources.  CEP2.0 used to adjust the volume
for the SBD, AUD, center and LFE channels.  Surcode CD Pro

Notes

This is NOT the 'Dozin At The Nick' source for any of the 
first set or set two.  You can see by the notes and the 
removal of several errors that the released source was not
used.  Although it would have made my life 100 times easier
as finding sub second dropouts in a 3 hour show is insane.

Set 1
It looks like the SBD source was normalized to 100%.  The
levels are way up there but not distorted or clipped.

I performed a 'light' click and pop eliminator to the first 
set AUD source.

I also took some time to remove or reduce more of the close
claps.

I raised the low levels on the AUD 2.5db on set 1.

The Loser on this night is a smoker!

0:00.000 not much crowd/tuning before Let The Good Times 
Roll.  No music missing though.

30:58.730 I applied a .479 second AUD patch to cover a 
missing portion on the SBD source.  Maybe a dropout had
been edited without notation?

Between Desolation Row and Tennessee Jed the AUD was 
missing 25.358 seconds of crowd cheer.  The SBD was 
trimmed to match.  The result is smooth and most 
likely undetectable.

Set 2
Disc 2 and 3 can be assembled seamlessly on longer media.

It looks like the SBD source was normalized to 100%.  The
levels are way up there but not distorted or clipped.

Removed or reduced a few more of the close claps in set 2.

I raised the low levels on the AUD 2db on set 2.

0:00.000 not much crowd/tuning before Playing In The Band.  
No music missing though.

14:56.243 I applied a .487 second AUD patch to cover a 
missing portion on the SBD source.  Maybe a dropout had
been edited without notation?  The result is smooth and 
most likely undetectable.

20:01.665 I applied a 1.027 second AUD patch to cover a 
missing portion on the SBD source.  This is in the final 
verse of Uncle John's Band.  A close listen and you will
be able to detect this patch as it is over a second long.

1:14:15.057 I applied a .289 second AUD patch to cover a 
missing portion on the SBD source.  Maybe a dropout had
been edited without notation?

More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel 
sound, like DTS and Dolby Digital.  While the Audio-CD 
standard (Red Book) hasn't changed to accommodate these 
new sound formats, it is still possible to go around the 
specification and to put a 5.1 surround recording on a 
regular Audio-CD.  To play a DTS-Audio-CD you must connect 
your DVD/CD player via a digital cable (optical or coaxial) 
to your DTS Dolby-Digital receiver. It is not 100% sure 
that your receiver will recognize a DTS-Audio CD, so the 
first time you're trying to playback a DTS-Audio-CD you 
must do a test to determine if it can. Begin with the 
volume very low, start the disc and raise the volume 
gradually. NEVER listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the 
analog audio outputs of your CD/DVD player.

Burning Instructions
Burn them the absolute same way as you would burn any 
normal Audio-CD from .shn files.
