* First time played

Notes:
-I'm guessing mic location was next to soundboard since you can hear
Paul talking to Trey who wanted monitor levels adjusted between songs
-Some minor distortion at certain peaks that were previously clipped
-d1t02 4:40 minute channel drop, 7:35 minor skip
-d2t02 2:09,3:49 volume drop, 5:11-5:14 muffled sound


Fixes:
-Clipping occurred in all tracks (98% in left channel):
If clipping was minimal, I used SF4.5 pencil tool to fix wave. However,
if the clipping was larger, I applied dynamic compression to
milli-second clip maintaining the same RMS power.
-d1t03 2:37.330-2:38.088 left channel dropout fixed by applying right channel
-d1t06 3:39, 3:58 removed crackles - something hits the mics
-To reduce distortion of previously clipped peaks in left channel, the SF4.5
channel converter converted a new left channel comprised of 90% left and 10% right.

Pitch correction:
-Each set was between 30 and 70 cents sharp (varible), so I compensated for this using Sound Forge 7.
This added about 2.5 minutes to the length of each set
-Added friendly fades at the start and end of sets
-Retracked in CD Wave

Note From Rob:

Your name sounds very familiar. Did I hook you up with this
show in a trade through etree? I think I might have. I saw this show
in someones cdr list and it kinda blew me away for some reason.

I guess since it was me that recorded the show 13 years ago..!
I'm not a taper by any means, so since I haven't really traded this
show with many people, it kind of surprised me to see your
comments/fixes on it, and to actually see it in someone else's list
that I trade with. (Seth Yacovone band, but I'll talk about that later)

I love to ramble, so let me tell you a little bit about that show....

Basically it was nothing special. Phish played Nectars' three
nights in a row every month, and this just happened to be one-of-em.
I made it a habit to try to catch every gig they played in the Burlington
area.. Anyway, I was dead tired at work on 2/7/88 (landscaping -
making rock walls) but talking about how I was totally psyched about
seeing the band play at Nectars' again that night (2/7/88). So this guy
I worked with asked why I would stay out all night to hear a band
play when I knew I needed to get up like 3 hours later (if I was lucky)
to go to work... So I told him I would record the show that night so he
could hear it the next day....

He understood after I enlightened him on 2/8/88!

We caught many, many shows together after that.

"I'm guessing mic location was next to soundboard since you can hear
Paul talking to Trey who wanted monitor levels adjusted between songs"

For the first set, you're correct, the mic was placed next to the soundboard (location A),
that's why you can clearly hear Paul's response to Trey talking about the monitors.
It was actually attached to a painting on the wall behind the soundboard.

Then for the second set I moved into position "B", to look for my friend Joe, who was
still out back getting stoned. You can hear me asking "Where'd he go to man?" during
the intro to AC/DC Bag (d2t1)...

I had left him about 45 minutes before that - after harfin' a fatty w/ the band out back.... he
was still out there.

So anyway... For the second set I moved to position B on the diagram, my walkman
was sitting on Page's (He's such a nice guy) keyboard, and the mic was clipped to my hat.

"d2t02 2:09,3:49 volume drop"

That's Joe (back from getting stoned) standing right next to me doing the WHOOOOO's!
at each of the times indicated.. Auto recording levels caused the drops.

"d2t02 5:11-5:14 muffled sound"

A friend grabbed me from behind, causing me to turn around and look - with shocked amazement.
With the mic hooked to my hat, the "muffled sound" occured.

You didn't mention the idle chit chat (thanks - I think I can be heard asking for a
Molson Export either between or during some song), but....
Between d2t2,t3 - me again...
slurring something about how: "Man Nectars love.. must love when this band plays here...
Or some stoned bullshit like that...

Man, what awesome memories! I would love to hook up with the "new improved"
version you made.

Thanks a lot.

Rob
