Recording Notes:
ONLY time hearing "Exit" live, "P.25" at a strange spot near the end. HHB fades in and 3 songs have mic static, showing that repairs allegedly
done, weren't (Leonard traced it to a batch of bad wire). "Jam > Thorn" is one of the bad spots, will update with the other 2 flawed songs. I
still kick myself for going to Oakland for Page/Plant the next day vs. staying for that 3rd night. Chris Keiper (Garcia) bailed, and there is
STILL no nice sounding audience recording from that night.
Rating: 8/10
Mastering Notes:
There were actually a lot more spots with static (caused as it turned out by a dirty input jack on the mics) than Steve first thought. This show
already circulates, and as far as I know, it does so with the static. For this "remaster", I decided to copy the good left channel over the
noisy right channel, with a 50 ms delay. I then applied the WAVES plugin PS22 Spread (10) to create a wider stereo effect.
Tape flip at 9:05 of "Thorn In My Pride" - seamlessly spliced, but some music lost
Tape flip during "Encore Break" applause - seamlessly spliced, only applause lost
