remastering notes:
this was previously posted by mr. mags on March 23, 2008 at dime
torrent #189345. as of this posting that torrent had dropped off the tracker.
There were a few glitches in it, which I have removed by monoizing
very short segments (less than .002 sec. each) 1 glitch at a time,
(only enough to notice no more glitches, no audible disruption of the
sound at all), and balanced out a few level erraticies and imbalances.
Although the splice of STTPK's is a rather awkward one, I have spliced
it into 1 track.
I don't know how much of the final jam is missing but RTF with Carlos
Santana doesn't happen very often at all and music sounds very good.
Unfortunately it's still hissy but the levels were a bit high before,
so the hiss is slightly less prominent now (to my ears), even though
I have not used any EQ or noise reduction. I did re-edit a couple of
tracks but have only removed silent gaps where the tapes were flipped
and applied splices and/or fadeouts to smooth the transition out.
Some of the times before may have been a little off. I did not adjust
the speed at all, and don't think it needs it. If there's any glitches
left in here I didn't notice them. All the ones I found aren't to be
found or heard again because they're all gone, and I didn't notice any
diginoise in here, (there's nothing I can do to fix that at all) just
some distortion from the saturation apparently from the original recording
So just in case you haven't heard enough No Mystery, this is a little bit
improved version of one many of you have heard before....

Somebody requested this rarity on the Evergreen thread &
I thought I would spread it around. I remember it being
poor sounding but it's not that bad, afterall-IMO.
There is just some pretty noticable tape hiss &
oversaturation to contend with. The oversaturation is
bothersome but only when the dynamics are really high.
Yup- this is probably for big fans of the group & collectors.
Great Show.


enjoy
