Bowl de Luna Rev.A (May 2001)
=============================
The rev.A release is from a different source than the rev.0 release. Instead of speed correcting our previous version, I have received a new version that I believe is better than the masters that I used before.

Here are the differences between this rev A release and the original version of Bowl De Luna:
Foremost is the change in speed. The original ran somewhat fast. The difference can be seen in the track timings:

01 Breathe 2:37 2:42
02 The Travel Sequence 4:30 4:33
03 Time 5:29 5:46

A little math shows about a 3.5% increase in run time. Also note that StCftHotS has been moved to its proper position in the setlist: the encore. The original disc 2 track order of OoTD, CWtAE, StCftHotS, Echoes, ASoS was erroneous.

This was discussed a while back. ASoS is the final song of the 2nd set (with the big fireworks display), and StC is the encore. The songs are in this order on the master tape, and StC WAS played as an encore for several shows around this period. All the "experts" agree that rev A does indeed have the correct running order.

For those nit-pickers like me that own a copy of the original release and are concerned about the numerous (snap, crackle, pop, fizz, fizz) undesirable noises in this recording, let me say this...

The majority of the glitches in the original are not of digital origin and therefore still exist in rev A. For example, that series of thumps at the very beginning of Echoes are still there. Those sounds are not digital in nature and are unfixable.

Normally, I update the database section with glitch information for each release. Let me say that for BdL rev A, there are no digital glitches per se. I will not be creating a list for the static and feedback and other analog stuff (too much work fo something so meaningless).
