08   Phil's announcement regarding the arrest of their soundman


notes:

- the pitch on all tracks has been adjusted, broadly in line with the circulating soundboard
- a substantial number of small dropouts have been repaired
- quite a lot of the between song tuning/crowd is missing, I have crossfaded to smooth out these transitions 
- the levels varied and I've done my best to try and even them out.  It's not perfect but it sounds a lot better
- the bottom and middle ranges have been increased
- the discs were made from a fairly high gen source, there was quite a lot of hiss present.  Some noise
   reduction has been applied.
- there are several instances of  wow and flutter
- Candyman has a cut of about 1 minute

 
comments:

Garcia's voice was in bad shape, he was recovering from laryngitis

The show was cut short due to the soundman, in charge of the PA, being arrested by the Bakersfield Police


Thanks to Uncle Barry for the discs.
