Additional Notes (not found in the info file):
This is a 2-part concert broadcast reconstructed from 3 different broadcast recording sources. All the sources are FM recordings of varying lineage. It’s not a Frankenstein’s monster however. There are no rough or jarring changes in sound, and, if you do notice the slight sonic changes at the patch boundaries, they are brief and transitory as you will again soon be overwhelmed by this great band.

This is the complete concert sourced from three, restored and speed-corrected analog FM broadcast recordings. It is a composite of the best extant segments of two different post-concert broadcasts, above referred to as Part 1 and Part 2.

The restored radio announcements have been included for historical accuracy, but you may play it, seamlessly, without these interruptions if you prefer by excluding those tracks from your playlist.

If you don’t have the direct dL you should grab it: It sounds great, brought back to life by flambay’s elbow grease and magic Pixy dust.

This version has not been altered since it was first seeded on DIME in April of 2010.

There is a partial, digital, rebroadcast recording available via the original broadcaster which is super clean and bright, but no digital sources were included herein.

There’s no mention in the original seed info file of my audio restoration of the main source and that of the 2 patch sources before I handed them off to flambay. The restoration work includes the following analyses and related post audio restoration work for all the material included in this seed (and then some). Paraphrasing my notes:

• DC offset corrected all tracks in all 3 sources
• manual repair of clicks. pop, crackle and glitches
• channel offset correction (all sources exhibited the 2.5 to 5 ms channel offset typical of FM transmissions (and any recordings of them)
• repaired, attenuated or ‘removed’ extraneous, non-musical sonic artifacts
• overall gain balancing with local corrections
• clipped peak restoration
• final channel balancing, gain corrections, and other local adjustments, repairs and corrections

Reseeded* on TTD, June 15, 2019.

• The foregoing text and notes have been corrected, changed and additional information provided about this audio restoration project. These changes do not appear in the info file contained in this seed which has not changed since the original share. -plaz
