Notes:
-agalli thinks he probably went to the early show if there were two shows on this day,
but he doesn't remember if there were, in fact, two shows
-the show agalli recorded is different than the unknown gen recording that agalli
originally shared via mr_mags in 2010 and that I have now speed corrected from a newer
2024 transfer
-the unknown gen recording might be from the late show of April 3 or it could be from a
different day from the same run
This is very nice, clear sounding recording; however, there are a lot of loud whistles,
and some background chatter during some songs. I considered trying to minimize some of
this, but I did not. So this is the completely natural recording.
-transferred consistently 3.45% fast so speed corrected (MATLAB)
-automatically balanced, lowered and clip fixed the levels (MATLAB)
-some manual repair of clipped peaks on track 2, which needed special attention because
agalli's levels were higher on that track (Audacity)
