Recorded by: Ron Goldshine and John Musgrave with help from Mark the B-Man and Mike Martin (guarding the mic stands)

Recorded from the 15th row dead center on the floor with the microphones about 10 feet apart


Source:
2 Sennheiser MKH 406 TUD microphones > Sony D5M (w/ Dolby B, Bias @ 70us on 3 TDK MA C-90 tapes)

My Copy of masters:
Sony D5M (w/ Dolby, Bias @ 120us) > Akaii GX-570 D2 (w/ Dolby B, Bias @ 70us on 2 TDK SA C-90 tapes)
(sounds like an incorrect playback bias setting was used to boost the high end)

Transfer:
Nakamichi CR-7A (azimuth aligned to tape, Dolby B, Bias @ 70us) > Korg MN-2000S 1 Bit DFF @ 2.822 MHz >
AudioGate (convert to 24-96) > Audacity (clean up) >
AudioGate (convert to 16-44) >
NERO (bass extrapolation of -3dB @ 120 Hz used to restore low frequencies lost with incorrect playback bias setting) >
CD wav > Flac (Level 8) > Stamp ID3 Tag editor

Clean Up notes:
The pauses between songs are found on my cassette (I should have known better)
Some editing was done to smooth these transitions out better
Tape flips were spliced as needed, the amplitude was increased and DC offsett correction was applied
The second set recording started late and the beginning of Scarlet Begonias is missing
It was an unfortunate coincidence that with these edits the second set fits on 1 cd
