NOTES:
Looking back thru the shows I have yet to release/master, I found this one. I forgot I even taped this show and after
listening to it, its clear why I didn't do anything with it at the time (at the time, siriusjoe was mastering my shows
but I clearly thought this was not worth the time so never sent it out). One would THINK a show at the famous Carnegie
Hall would be a superior show for sound. Ah, no. Apparently, on this night, Tull was required to use the in-house PA,
which was AWFUL (the next night the PA was fixed somehow - but I did not bring my gear, was with my bro). The sound was so
low people where yelling at others to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! A great NY crowd. lol. But it was warranted. The clapping/cheers
between songs was SO loud compared to the music, and you'll hear that when you listen to it. If anyone loads these tracks
up in a wave editor, you'll see that the clapping parts look CLIPPED, some where, but only slightly. I chopped the peaks
off so I could bring the overall volume up. Nothing really bricked on the original and the chopping does knock the
overall loudness of those sections WAY down. I have to give the crowd credit, they did keep pretty quiet during the
songs so you can actually hear the music pretty good, even though its slightly distant overall. I looked on some
trader/boot sites and this show appears to have never been taped, so this might be completely new to the community.
It's about a B+ depending how you rate these things, even with the issues. I think its worth a listen, getting a complete
Weathercock this tour is priceless and nearly the entire Aqualung album too.

There are no EQ adjustments, I just normalized the channels and levels. Its a little bright as a result but you can EQ
to taste and it doesn't sound too bad once you hone in (bumping the lows and cutting the highs). During this time, I was
using my slightly adjusted new rig with phantom power, overall, better than the Mini-Disc recorder but a lot of cables and
other shit. Soon to be dropped for a BB + R9.

Repost if you like, but please keep info and file set intact.
