Cool Edit Pro (DC offset correction and normalization) > CDWave > Flac (Level 8) > Stamp ID3 tag editor



Recorded from the orchestra section row 28 seats 2, 3 and 4.
A picture of the tickets and the tape boxes is incorporated into the artwork.

A bit Bass heavy, some crackles here and there and a light tape hiss.

Tape dropouts, flatspots and many individual loud claps were repaired or removed in the end-to-end review.

This recording has been available from an earlier transfer and trade as well as other sources.
The version here benefits from quite a bit of work removing blemishes and loud claps that were missed the first time I transfered this tape.
Reduction of the heavy bass has exposed more detail while leaving the bass a little less boomy(eq plot included).
