Recording lineage: SOUNDBOARD > Sony PCM-M1 @ 16/48 > DAT Master

Transfer lineage: DAT Master > Sony PCM-R500 > ESI Juli@ soundcard > Sound Forge Pro v10.0c (editing; conversion to mono by removing bad channel) > iZotope 64-Bit SRC (resample to 16/44.1) > CD Wave Editor v1.98 > FLAC level 5

tech notes: There was a tiny bit of stereo separation in the original mix, but unfortunately one of the channels was bad (low levels, static, clipping, etc). I believe that there was a bad balanced output on the board. The soundman tried to blame it on my cables (I've never had a problem before or after). Since he did me a huge favor by patching me in...even though the show was already underway, I wasn't about to argue with him. Also, the sound drops out for less than a second. at the beginning of track 4. Anyway, Grass Roots recordings (let alone soundboards) are so rare that I don't think you'll be disappointed with this one. Enjoy.

PS - If you're burning to CD and you hate annoying DJs as much as I do, then just eliminate the DJ tracks. No music will be lost.

RIP Rob Grill. We'll miss ya!
