Comments:
*First public performance.
- d2t08:   Reel flip at 04:48 of \"Saint Stephen\" crossfaded.
- Approximately 1:39 were removed from the lengthy dead space/tuning preceding \"Loser\" allowing the entire first set to fit on a single 80 minute disc, while keeping in Bob\'s \"Second oldest ritual\" comment...          that\'s a fact....
- Intermittent faint audible artifacts/pops were attenuated using manual pencil redraw under high magnification.  These were retrospectively found on all other circulating recordings from this performance.  They were most abundant at the beginning of \"Dark Star\" and also at the start of \"Wharf Rat\".  There are a few spots still remaining in \"Wharf Rat\" that are just too embedded to get out - sounds like minor transient peak distortion.
- The notorious broad-peaked high pitched whine centered 8000-8100 KHz range was removed using a digital paragraphic equalizer (Waves Q6) with 2 narrow/notch bands (Q set maximal @ 100, -12 dB) set at just under and over 8000K for the first reel and just under and over 8100KHz for the last 3 reels.  Previously circulating sources either used a wider band filter or a noise reduction approach performed on low bit/sample rate files which yields suboptimal results.  All processing on this transcription was performed at 24/96 resulting in a much smoother transparent sound.

Comments:
Reel flips and short segments of missing music (Casey Jones, Bird Song, Lovelight) were crossfaded to stealthy seamlessness by sampling the 2-3 missing beat(s) from the same measure in a preceding/following verse/chorus.   All audio editing was done on 24 bit files.

FFT of waveform showed 2 distinct peaks resulting in an annoying whine.  First peak broadly centered around 8100 and a second at roughly 15700 Hz.  These were attenuated using the SuperNotch notch filter preset of Waves Q10 32 bit paragraphic equalizer performed on the 24/96 WAV files prior to Ozone mastering and MBIT 16 bit rendering.

SBE FREE 16/44.1

Notes-
-This is an upgrade to previously circulating source because, though the same 8000kHz ringing tone existed on this source as shnid 113, the tone was carefully removed, No Noise Reduction software was employed. The sound difference is noticable.
-With some tunings exceeding two minutes, I chose to track each \"in between songs\" as individual tracks for the sake of the listener.
- *Reel flip in Bobby McGee and end of Wharf Rat.
- Digital zippers repaired with patches in Me and My Uncle and Good Lovin patched using shnid 113.
- speed matches circulating source for discerning listeners.
