except for part of drums (see below), which was patched with the
AUD audio source from the circulating DVD (no source info given).

Edit: SHNs > WAV > Cool Edit 2000/Cool Edit Pro > shntool > FLAC

The following corrections were made (see below for details):

– all tracks put back in phase by reinverting left channel in CE 2K
– multiple dropouts, splices, etc. patched
– first three tracks of second electric set put at end of CD 2 to allow
CD3 to fit on one disc. Disc change between CDs 2 and 3 is seamless.
– SBD from 1:32 of GDTRFB to end of the show is higher-pitched; this was
corrected in CE Pro (stretched 100.383%) so speed and pitch matched the
rest of the show. It sounds like it was either patched in from an
alternate SBD or played back on a different deck.

Patches:

1st set aud was time/pitch stretched 100.7% in CE Pro and volume matched
as closely as possible on a patch by patch basis.

– 8:30-8:33 of Birdsong, patch vol. raised 4 dB
– :46-1:16 in Ripple (noise envelope applied from 0:55.638 to 0:56.016 to
prevent clipping after raising patch source 3.1 dB).
– Fade at the end of Ripple was made longer and more gradual
– dropouts in Rooster at 8:26, 8:56-58, and 8:59. patch dropped 1.1 dB
– :27 to :57 of Brown Eyed Woman
– one sec dropout at 2:17 in Lost Sailor
– dropout at 6:25 of Franklin’s
– Most of drums from :25 to 10:32 patched with the circulating AUD, with
the following exceptions: 11 dropouts from 6:00 to 7:28 patched with AUD
from circulating DVD (no shnid). Also, the circulating AUD was a
veritable Swiss cheese from 7:54 – 10:32, most likely due to bad audio
extraction. I was certain that to patch that many dropouts so close
together would sound worse than the original, since the two AUD sources
sound so different, so I just patched that whole section with the DVD
AUD. The DVD AUD source was deliberately recorded via analog from my
DVD player to my Tascam HD-P2 so as to avoid any possible extraction
errors.
– Break at 1:32 in GDTRFB patched with AUD, fade in right after dropout
was reversed. Sudden increase in volume from 2:11-2:13 also patched with
AUD, as increase caused irreparable distortion. AUD time/pitch stretched
99.188% to match SBD. SBD from first break to end of show time/pitch
stretched to 100.383%.
– mini dropout in right channel at 2:21 in Good Lovin’ patched with AUD.
Splice patched from 2:22-2:51. AUD time/pitch stretched 99.188% and
raised +1.1 dB, noise envelope of -1.1 dB applied to peak at 2:24 to
prevent clipping.

Many thanks to Charlie Miller for his advice on determining which channel
to reinvert. Thanks to Cousinit for the SBD source and his flaw notes,
also mcole, Charles Weir, drgseeds and Deadhead for their SBD source
comments and Charles (?) for his AUD source comment on the drums track.
Last but not least thanks to Jim Wise for his excellent audience patch
source, as well as to (?) for circulating the DVD of this show, which
provided part of drums.
