From Alan

"I transferred these masters direct to untracked CDs back in 2002. I checked them out and they are spot on for speed (A=440). It seems to be a sort of sbd/ambient blend mix to mono. The masters were labelled as "Remote" so I'm assuming its a unique mix of some sort, possibly as the feed to video cameras. It sounds similar to the audio on Bill Graham's video masters but is superior quality and more complete. It may be the most complete direct source as it does not have any of the cuts on other sbd sources. The only cut is during the tape change in set 2 (during the jam after Truckin')"

I have compared a couple of tracks with the mix used for Bill Graham's video at the Convert Vault and can confirm that it is  the same as this.


Notes:

- The audience which has been mixed in is rather excessive during  Set I so I have toned it down so that it isn't so overpowering.
- I put together a matrix to patch "Jam'" which is a 100/50 mix of shnids 20596 and 140952 (Thank you Brian Heath, Matt Smith and Scott Clugston).    Both sources were speed corrected and some level adjustments made. I made this mono so that it is in keeping with the rest of the source.  The patch is



Thanks to Bob Gurman for this source and Alan Bershaw for the transfer.
