Lineage:

CDR > EAC > WAV > Editing (see below) > FLAC Frontend > FLAC


Editing notes:
* Re-tracked show (combined WAV files in Nero, then re-split with CD Wave)
* The balance-out the volume in both channels, I used Audacity to add +2.5dB to the right channel for Disc 1 (from the 1:56 mark of Track 101 through Track 108) and +3dB to the right channel for Disc 2 (all tracks)
* Deleted about 2:30 of extra applause and subsequent PA music (The Power Station's "Some Like It Hot") at the end of Track 210* Volume adjustments (as noted separately below). Basically, the first two minutes of Track 101 were very "hot" compared to the rest of the show's volume. I tried to blend everything together as best as I could without undue clipping in those first two minutes and without exceeding peak volume during the rest of the show.


Volume adjustments:
Track 101: +20dB (0:00-0:04 mark), -1dB (0:04-2:01 mark, with minor clipping),
+4dB (2:01-2:26), +3dB (2:26-end)
Tracks 102-103: +3dB
Track 104: +3dB (0:00-1:27 mark), +2dB (1:27-5:02), +3dB (5:02-end)
Track 105: +3dB
Track 106: +3dB (0:00-5:13 mark), +1dB (5:13-5:23), +3dB (5:23-end)
Tracks 107-108: +3dB
Track 201: +5dB
Track 202: +5dB (0:00-0:22), +3dB (0:22-end)
Tracks 203-207: +3dB
Track 208: +6dB (everything except +3dB at very ends of track only)
Tracks 209-210: +3dB

A brief description of "The RS Archives":
The RS Archive consists of a selection of live recordings made by a great individual who passed away in 2005.

RS worked in the music industry in many capacities….a music fan….a musician….a sound engineer. He was considered one of the best behind the mixing board. I was honored to have known him for practically 35 years.

So now, it is time to honor him by sharing some of the many recordings he made while on the road. All are perfect (or near perfect) soundboard recordings made from the master cassettes or master dat tapes. Unfortunately, I am not able to identify the original equipment these tapes were made on, however I can say that for the transferring process, the cassette tapes were played back on a Nakamichi CR-7A, and the dat tapes on a Sony PCM-R500. They were all burnt onto cdr using a HHB CDR-850.

Please enjoy these tasty gems!

And won't you please consider thanking Mexminute for sharing this mighty fine show with us?
