Notes:
I can't confirm this lineage 100%, but that is how my dat was labled and that is how Rob Eaton has it listed, so I can only assume it's correct. I have also seen it listed as SBD>VHS>Cass>Dat>CD. This version sounds better and is more complete than the etree version.

3 AUDs:

AUD 1

AUD 2

Painoman's Master Analog Cassettes
Digital Mastering by Charlie Connor 11/03/01

Lineage:
FOB AUD>CM (unknown mics)>Nak DR-10 (Playback)>
Midiman Flying Cow 24bit/48kHz A/D>RME Digi96/8>
Steinberg's Wavelab 3.0 (bit resolution & resampling to CDR
redbook 16/44.1>CDWav beta1.6 (tracking only)>SHNv3 (MKW ACT)

Correct sector boundaries verified using shntool

Note:

Although, the mics used to record this show are unidentified
it only will take you 5 seconds to realize the deck was patched into  
a veteran FOB taper with good equipment and a great buffer
zone in front of the mics.  This is an awesome "you are there" FOB.

A HUGE special thanks to Painoman for lending me his Master Cassettes,
Which took me a friggin year to digitize. Painoman you have the
patience of a saint.

Notes:

1) There is occasional, minor static in the SBD.

2) Soundtrack Pro was used to reduce/remove static in Rooster, Supplication Jam, Spoonful, and Black Peter. (The static in Drums>Space seems to be instrument related.)

3) While any of the above AUDs could have made a good, interesting matrix, the Force ushered me to choose Oade, and incorporate the other two for the patches, when available.  

4) There is a cut in the Oade Aud during Lovelight (3:23-end of track) Tuning (3) (entire track) and Baby Blue (4:39 to end). Painoman's AUD patches the Lovelight track up to 8:22, and Surac's AUD patches Baby Blue.

5) There are cuts in the SBD during Supplication Jam (0:17-0:29) and Space (3:39-4:39).

6) Some echo effects that the band was using during this time for vocals and instruments can sound like "slippage," but I can confirm that they are not such moments. 

7) The show is seamless.
