Set I

Notes:

The first set is from a SBD master cassette source and has some hiss. The second set is from the master reel source. Levels are slightly different between the sets but same as the original sources – the master reel had more dynamic range.

Brief SBD cuts at the beginnings of the set openers. 1 minute cut in Big River and a 26-second cut in Dancing In The Streets.

SBD tuning sections were trimmed to match the AUD cuts, which still provided ample breaks between songs. (This creates a continuous AUD track.) Other tuning sections are added from the AUD source.

Click removed in Eyes Of The World.

A 20 second SBD section in Brown Eyed Women appears to be patched from a different show since it did not match the audience recording. The patch was preserved for continuity and the AUD fades out here for this brief moment.

Due to a brief AUD cut and some muffled sound, the Sony ECM-99A recording by Steve Hopkins patches the first 1:11 of Around And Around (#5982 transfer by Dave Minor, Dave Handrich and Matt Vernon, 7/12/03).

(Remaster/Speed-fix of Dan Lampinski Vol.3)(Flac)

Remaster to fix speed/pitch, tidy up cassette swap & stop edits, and clean & tighten up the overall sound

Many Thanks to djscomics, Kev & Carl and Dan Lampinski for the original torrent on Dime.

This Remaster (Cuztard Pi): *.flac (24bit/96Khz) -> Foobar2000 -> *.wav -> Wavelab6 -> *.wav (16bit/44.1kHz) -> Foobar2000 (level 8) -> *.flac -> Dime

The original recording was in excellent shape but IMHO did need some attention to fix a few issues, mainly:
– Wrong speed/pitch (I determined that the original plays +51 cents sharp)
– some rough edits due to cassette swap & stop
– slightly excessive tape hiss
– insufficient bass response (IMO)

The basic details of the mastering applied to the original 24bit/96Khz version from djscomics seed on Dime (using Wavelab6) are as follows:
A: edit/fill/crossfade cassette swap & stop points (to disguise the abrupt/rough edits)
B: Fix mono portion of Track 1 ‘Bohemian Rhapsody (Opera)’
C: Time stretch by 103.1% (equals -51 cent pitch change)
D: Slight de-hiss
E: EQ / Multiband Compression / Limiting (-0.2dB max) / Dithering to 16bit (bass boost & tighten up the sound)
F: WAVs edited to fit on to 2xCDRs (with overlap) plus fade in/out (using the same CD break point as the original)
G: track split (I’ve added a few more track breaks as per track list above)

Please note that this remaster reflects my own personal preferences with respect to listening to live shows. Remastering has been done to polish the raw master recording with the aim of enhancing the listening experience. This includes some editing of the original to disguise the cassette swap & stop points to make it seamless (i.e. prior to ‘The Prophet’s Song’, ‘Now I’m Here’ & ‘Hey Big Spender’) as well as some tweaks to ‘polish up’ the overall sound. So if you prefer virgin recordings, unspoiled by any such amateur ‘dabbling’ then do not join in on this one, you can still get the original recording on Dime (for CD 16bit format) here:

Comments:

This was a short show due to curfew restrictions.

Notes:

– I remixed the first 1:20 of “China Cat” as it was inconsistent with the rest of the track.
– I decided to track this as one set as there is no evidence of a set break.

Thanks to Tim for providing this source and Charlie for taking care of the transfer

Collected on reels March 1976; taper unknown (maybe SM).
There is also another taper’s version, with wild speed flucuations.

3 tracks from this show were used in “Live 1975 BS 5”, where they run very slow.
