Notes from SHNID 14560

There was no encore played.
*taken from circulating AUD > ? > C > DAT > CD source.  EQ applied to somewhat improve sound quality and provide better transition into Moore's master.  Moore missed the first two songs due to "audience problems."
**left channel line distortion on master cassette corrected
with right channel blend at 04:12 (one second), 06:28 and
06:29 (under one second each)
There are occasional digital tick like sounds that upon
examination in Soundforge did not resemble digital errors.  After replaying the master cassettes, they were found there as well.  They are more than likely claps from very close to the mics or simply anomalies on the master cassettes themselves.  Because it was hard to determine the clap/anomaly truth, they have been left on the final product.  These occur only a handful of times throughout the show.

Droncit notes for SHNID 134416 (this version):
This restoration was requested because there is no soundboard and the audience recording is apparently the best-sounding version available.  It was still bassey and hard to hear individual instruments.
I used a multi-filter with a paragraphic equalizer, three virtual valve amplifers, one dynamic noise filter in enhancer mode and a spectral filter for final equalization.  After the expansion was achieved, the hand-held mic noise was very evident, so I used a final channel blender to blend to mono below 125Hz, and that took care of 90% of the mic noise.
The first two songs (from a different source), I left alone.
I don't hear the problems in Stella blue evident in the earlier version; the restoration may have mitigated them.
