New York, NY  USA

Digital Master Recording
Recorded from Orchestra Section Row DD
(4th Row, Far Left)

DPA 4021's > Marantz PMD-660 (Oade BCM) > 16bit 44.1 wav >
Soundforge (set fades, major level adjustments, reduce much close
clapping, slight EQ) > CDWave 1.95 (tracking) > 
Flac Frontend (level 7, align sector boundaries) > flac

Recorded from the 4th row on the far left, and with the curve of the stage, 
I was literally five feet from the stage. This recording suffers from my being 
underneath and in front of the stacks, so that all the music is coming only 
from the stage.  Levels were boosted a ton in post-production and crowd 
noise/close-clapping was reduced significantly.  At some points during the 
quieter numbers, there is an slightly audible buzz created by an air vent 
that ran occasionally on the left side wall.

The other major problem was that the batteries died in the middle of the 
second set, so that this recording is ultimately incomplete.  As no other 
recording from this date has surfaced, this seems to be the only version of
this show in circulation, flawed as it is.

Enjoy!
