Complete show

An ESP experiment show;
the second Betty Board;
first show without Mickey Hart.

genealogy of this recording:

7" two track BBD reel w/ Dolby A @ 7 1/2 ips >
PCM501ES @ 44.055 kHz

PCM501ES analog out > Fostex D5 @ 48 kHz (Dolby not decoded?) >
WAV > Cool Edit Pro (filtering and sample rate conversion) >
SHN data files

(seed)


The recording is in mono, and reflects very occasional analog
tape flaws such as bursts of flutter. These flaws are from the
master. The lineage information available states that Dolby A
decoding was not performed, but the sound is nevertheless very
good and does not sound compressed.


As with the other Port Chester recordings, a slight whine comes
and goes throughout the recording. We have applied a very light
notch filter as needed. The filtering was accomplished using Cool
Edit Pro, and consisted of a sequence of notch filters at and
around 8k,approximately 1 kHz wide and only 2 db in depth. The
filtering was mainly during the in-between banter but also on the
songs where required - more so in the 2nd set. In The Other One
there were two short bursts of static that appear to have come
from the stage, and these were reduced in level. No other
filtering was performed.



As indicated in the set list, Bird Song is cut. There are also
several cuts on the master during crowd noise before Truckin'
starts the first set, but who cares?

Flac encoding notes:
All processing with Trader's Little Helper
Shn - st5 generated
Shn > Flac ( level 8 )
Flac - st5 generated and matched to Shn st5

Sector boundary errors occur at the end of each disc. Since these
should present no problem, they were not fixed.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac
files. If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be
stripped, however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
