AUD (shnid=163759):

Source Info:
FOB Sony ECM-33Ps-> Sony TC-152-> Cassette-> DAT
Unknown Taper

Transfer Info:
DAT Tape (Panasonic SV-3700) -> Coaxial SPDIF-> Marantz PMD 661 MKII (Solid State Recorder)-> SD Card-> Wav-> Flac Level 8-> Tagged (16/44.1)


Notes:
* New Transfer of same Microphone source as #003821. This one has a different lineage and does not have a CDR Source involved.
  This transfer seems to have less deck pauses and more lead in time. It has the same AUD Patch during Around & Around but also includes U.S. Blues that is missing from the other source. The older source has 30 seconds of redundant music that repeats for CDR changes...this one does not.
  It seems to have a smoother sound!...Tagged and in flac.

* Music Never Stopped cuts and fades out (Same as previous versions)
* All tracks are seamless [2-second cut near the end of Drums; 7-second cut in Franklin's Tower]

Encore

d3t09 - U.S. Blues


Notes:

Phil is low in the mix for Promised Land. The sound improves with They Love Each Other, after the band addresses "an annoying hum" in the sound system.

The first 3:11 of It's All Over Now is AUD-only.

Jerry's guitar and the vocal mics cut out late during Supplication (Jerry's guitar also has lower levels for a while before it cuts out). The guitar returns to the mix towards the end. The vocals return for Brown Eyed Women.

The AUD cuts out at 2:55 of The Music Never Stopped. We patched some of the crowd reaction after Brown Eyed Women to the tail end of this track to maintain a matrix effect for the end of set 1.

SBD clicks removed or reduced in They Love Each Other (4), The Music Never Stopped (2), and Help On The Way (1).

There is a slight reverb "watery" effect in the guitars and vocals at times in the SBD recording, particularly during the second set.

After a short cut in the SBD source near the end of the first Slipknot, there is a tonal shift where the sound becomes flatter and a little more left-channel heavy for the remainder of the recording. It seems like this could be a patch, but not sure. The matrix helps improve this lower quality sound.

The AUD has a 2-second cut near the end of Drums and a 7-second cut in Franklin's Tower, from 0:27 to 0:34.

At 5:39 in Around And Around, the rest of the AUD is patched with a different, poor quality AUD source that was un-matrixable. This source was still used to patch the first 20 seconds of U.S. Blues, which was missing in the SBD source, as well as the encore break. A brief section is also used after the encore.
