Notes:
- d1t01: the announcement sounds to be cut short
- d1t02: The sound is very distant and muffled up to about :24, then it seems to improve.
there is another drop in levels at 2:30 taking the quality back down a bit with more of a
muffled sound. There seem to be a splice or a cut at 7:22 - d1t03: Digipop at 1:39, 4:35, 7:49, 12:11, 12:14, and 12:35. Drop out at 5:51 – 5:53. Mic
adjustment at 12:23, 14:07. - d1t04: Static at 11:02, 11:08. Mic adjustment at 15:40, 16:40
- d1t05: at 1:46 there is a loud thump. I believe this was a mic bump. There are small
mic bumps and adjustments throughout thistrack. - d1t06: This track also has the small mic bumps and adjustements for the first quarter
of the track. dropout at 1:56. - d1t07: the levels seem to bump up at :37. Mic bumps, adjustments throughout this track
as well. - d1t09: There are a few level changes in this track, very minor. At 8:52 through
8:58 there is a very odd artifact. I don’t believe it should be there, but I may be wrong.
Drop out at 9:41. Track is cut at the end, music lost. - The sound is overall a bit distant and muffled sounding. Being a Miles audience
recording from the late 60’s the overall sound is pretty good and par for the course
when compared to other examples I’ve heard. I wouldn’t pass it by myself. - “The Davis Quintet played two concerts at the Hammersmith Odeon on this date.
This is the second concert. The Quintet toured Europe in October-November 1969 as
part of the Newport Jazz Festival in Europe produced by George Wein.” - Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/
