The capture runs a minute past 80 minutes so I suppose if you choose to burn, you have the option of omitting the first track. I thought about editing the dead air on the ten tracks to find 55 seconds to remove, but that seemed tiresome and tedious. The audio & tracking is exactly as Phideaux3 had them.

This is a CD compatible 16/44 version.

Source: Audience recording > Roland CS-10EM binaural mics > SP-ATEN-1 attenuator > Field Recorder on Samsung S20 > usb > WAV > Audacity > FLAC (24/96).

I resampled the 24/96 WAV files to 16/44 using Adobe Audition 1.5, fixed all of the SBEs and converted back to FLAC (level 6).

Taper comments: "Show starts instrumentally. Norah is introduced over the start of the Q-Tip track. Any help with the unknown title(s?) would be greatly appreciated. My guess is that the first ‘track’ is likely two, but there was no break and since I don’t really know. 'Let It Ride' has a solo piano intro that more than hints at 'Everything in Its Right Place.' Glasper’s version was included on the ‘100 Best Of Blue Note’ box. I thought about tracking it separately, but it really works as a piece. Dude clearly loves Radiohead - and why not? The audience was really respectful for the most part. Maybe because it was the late show on a Sunday, but there were times where the room was silent. Makes it a little jarring when the staff show up to your table. Spring rolls? Glasper has an effect that sounds like digital glitching, so don’t get the idea that it’s a problem with the recording. From where I was, I couldn’t see exactly how he did it. Seems like it might be rapid-fire keyboarding? Fans of jazz guitar should get to know Mike Moreno - a fine player - phrasing sort of like Scofield. He’s got one tone that reminds me of Metheny’s use of guitar synth - a whistle-like sound somewhere between an eBow and feedback. You’d probably think it was a keyboard if you didn’t see it happening. I did minimal processing in Audacity, a little volume boost and some pop mute for the clapping close to the mics. Anyone that wants to remaster this, please do. I think it could use some normalization done by someone more skilled than I. Even so, I’m really happy with the result. The kick drum has real punch without being overpowering and everything has excellent presence in the mix -- in its right place. Peace" (Phideaux3).
