Patch info:
- source #97021 (M. Laurentus) supplies
- s1t01 - all
- s1t02 - first fifteen seconds
- s2t01 - all
- s2t02 - first eight seconds

Notes:
- The taper's recording information is based on source #9772 & #132709, which raised some questions.  If you listen to the taper narrative that starts the second set of (9/20 - #132709), then compare the voice to the unfortunate comment made by the taper at the very beginning of s1t03 (Loser - 0:01 - #9772), they are the same.  Confirmation is based on previous transfers I have edited, where the taper made the exact remark.  Its well documented that both Katzeff & Tom Darien recorded from the same FOB seats for this entire run with the assistance of "Barry the security guard".  The same utterance can be heard on Darien's recording, amongst other banter.  That said source #9772 could not have been recorded by Dave Bratman/Brotman as stated in the database.  Unless he wants to be credited with the inappropriate observation.  One other note.  Bratman/Brotman has listed his recording location as Section 2, row 15, seat 1.  That, according to SeatGeek, is OTS & some mighty powerful mics that can pick up the Katzeff comment several hundred feet away during a rock concert.  Plus, the Garden as long as I have been a New Yorker has always listed the floor section by letter (A,B,C,etc).
- The transfer is the upgrade & it kills!
- This source may be a clone.
- Rich's DAT was water damaged, parts of 9772 were used to restore damaged segments.
- 9772 was speed corrected & converted to 48(Hz)
- Never ending daydream

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped,
however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp or st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
