Notes: * This is commonly listed as DSBD. To my ear, this sounds like a
mix of board and audience mics. In particular, a pair of mics
are bumped at 63:36 (disc 1) – note the voices and right-to-left
scuffle. Also note at 8:27 (disc 2) somone says, “Chuck, watch
the fence”. This is probably one of the tapers. The board feed
is much louder than the audience mics in the mix, so I can see
why it may have been mislabeled so easily. Call it whatever you
like – it sounds wonderful.

Fixes: a few digital glitches removed- d1 16:06, 48:43, 63:54
it’s almost 100% now. 🙂
first 30 seconds of d1 was about -6dB on right – corrected.
(not a perfect fix, but a bunch better.)
