Known flaws:
d1t03 6:29 drop out left channel
d2t02 splice @ 0:18 occational skips next 30 secs & skipping from 4:24 to 4:55
d2t05 7:55 cut

Eac in secure mode with proper offsets, 100% track quality, no errors.
Scarlet/Fire was split into 2 tracks using CDWav
CDWav was used to remove about 1 minute of bad skipping resulting in the splice at 18 sec.
Shntool used to confirm sector boundries
MKWact was used to convert to shn, seekable.

Notes:
My 4th GD show taping experience and apparently I was trying too hard to conserve tape. As a result I missed opening notes on 4 songs during the first set. Also, I somehow managed to do a inexplicably timed tape flip near the end of Birdsong. Fortunately all of the audience sourced patch material I required was available with shnid 10533. Hats off to Bob Menke for capturing notes I missed.

During editing I noticed that I was recording very close to Bob as many distinctive audience sounds are identical and nearly equally loud.

*A. 04.28 seconds from shnid 10533 patching in the opening notes of “Cangyman”
#B. 01.06 seconds from shnid 10533 patching in the opening notes of “Me and My Uncle”
~C. 10.38 seconds from shnid 23897 patching @ 10:08.17 thru to 10:18.35 in “Birdsong”
+D. 00.58 seconds from shnid 10533 patching in the opening notes of “Big Railroad Blues”
^E. 09.62 seconds from shnid 23897 patching in the opening notes of “Let It Grow”
2nd set flip patches:
&F. 09.06 seconds from shnid 10533 patching @ 10:13.72 thru to 10:22.68 in “He’s Gone”
!G. 07.50 seconds from shnid 10533 patching @ 09:08.15 thru to 09:15.66 in “Black Peter”
