Benefit for the North American Indians Foundation (Eagles opened for the Allman Brothers)

http://allmanbrothersband.com lists a setbreak between In Memory of Elizabeth Reed & Statesboro Blues; matching crowd noise on the original tapes allowed for a natural segue.

Original tape flip between You Don't Love Me & Les Bres in A Minor lost ~10 seconds in the guitar intro.


Also included are Toast/Jam printouts for the two CDs (so you can use the "Audio starts in Pause" timings to have a track end when the music stops and the subsequent track start when the music begins).

If you wish to combine the two CDs into one continuous set, substitute d01t11 & d02t01 with the corresponding link tracks.  This will provide an uncut playback of the entire concert.


Notes:

Recorded on a Sony TC-110A, using the built-in microphone (see http://www.sciencetech.technomuses.ca/english/collection/cassette_rec.cfm).  Original cassettes were transferred to a Mac DAW using a Denon DR-M10HR. The analog signal was first run through: a) a SAE 2800 parametric equalizer to bump the highs slightly and to remove "room boom" at around 80 MHz; & b) a Phase Linear Autocorrelator to remove hiss & expand the signal (the TC-110A did not have controls for recording; the recorder, designed for dictation, compressed the signal and recorded at a fixed level). Transferred to the Mac using a MOTU 896.  Bias Deck used to splice tape flips, even out volume levels & in some case to edit audience portions to allow for whole sets to fit on a 80 minute CD.  Bias Peak used to transfer SDII files to WAV files for shn compression.  Shntool used to correct SBEs.

This recording is one of literally dozens of concerts recorded by Joe Maloney in the late '60s - late '70s to be released to the live recording community.  The bulk of the concerts recorded were in the Boston area, with some in Maine venues.


starts off sounding like this was recorded from back in the Hall. Improves some as it goes on (if I was going to rate it, B/B+).
