Notes:
This recording has the same genealogy as the 3/5/94 I recently posted.

In the summer of 1999, Dick Latvala cloned the March 4-6 1994 run for a guy who hosted a
Grateful Dead-themed radio show; I obtained copies from the radio host.

Unlike 3/5/94, this show was tracked pretty accurately. I did make minor adjustments to some
track markers, again boosted the levels by about 20% (actually, 18% for reasons noted below)
and again fixed a duplicated section of the track marker between "Drums" and "Space".

The show had the same low levels problem as noted in 3/5/94. However, the boost was a problem,
since the music itself peaked a few times during "Drums", "Space", and "The Last Time".
Accordingly, it was difficult to do an across-the-board boost, because that would have driven the
levels -- at least for those songs, at certain parts -- throught the roof. So, I acted in the
greater good, so to speak, and decided to boost the levels for the benefit of the entire recording.
So, there are a few "hot" sections in those songs.

Furthur, there was a BIG problem with the "Drums" --> "Space" track marker. On my originals, "Drums"
was the last song of Disc 2, and "Space" was the first song of Disc 3. Come to find out that when
those songs were tracked together, the volume levels didn't match; "Space" was quite clearly louder,
even the waveforms looked markedly different. So, the splice was a problem since the levels didn't
match. Again, quite similar to the 3/5 seam, the first 15 or so seconds of "Space" was duplicated
at the last 15 or so seconds of "Drums". However, when I chopped off the duplicated sections, I
still had a marked difference in volume. So, because I have entered this little project not wanting
to fade anything in or out, the volume markedly increases at about 15:28 of "Space". "It is what it is",
as they say these days.
