hansokolow's notes:  There is so much work on this in terms of time/pitch adjustments and level adjustments that I cannot list them all.  It's been an ongoing project for a long time, as the quality of this AUD made it a very challenging show to matrix.  The main thing to know is that I made use of every bit of the AUD that is useable.  Most AUD tracks are missing the beginnings of songs and often the ends as well.  A string of songs  in the first set are also not present on the AUD:  Cumberland Blues, Me And My Uncle, Bird Song, and Playin'.  Those parts are, of course, all SBD.  The AUD is very inconsistent, clearly the mic was stuffed under someone's shirt at points, turned in different directions, etc.  I tried as best I could to account for that by changing the levels, but there is a fair amount of hiss on the AUD, so when the level is boosted, the hiss will be more present.  That's just how it is.  Also there are moments of a loud, obnoxious crowd, mostly notable in quiet parts like Dark Hollow and Ripple.  I tuned out a fair amount of the crowd in Ripple, as it is just distracting.  I tried to make this thing as smooth as I could, but some of the transitions when the AUD kicks in or out are still a bit jolting..

I went through a fair amount of confusion about the patches in Me And Bobby McGee and the transition between China Cat and Rider that were reportedly found on cassette from a master reel hidden at the Fillmore.  Until just now I thought I was making a big revelation that these are not actually patches from this night, but upon reading the notes on db.etree.org, I find that this is already known.  In any case, I decided to remove those sections and fade to the AUD only, so this is now, I believe, a totally complete version of this show.  The parts that are AUD only are from 2:32 to 3:22 of Me And Bobby McGee, and from 3:44 of China Cat to 0:09 of Rider, then again in Rider from 1:58 to 2:33.  As for the patch in Birdsong, that song is not present on the AUD, but I instead used the patch from a different SBD, shnid: 16782.  Midnight Hour has some scratchiness on the SBD that I left in, as going to the AUD only would be worse.  The cowbell is also quite strong in the AUD of this song, and I left that in, as there is always room for more cowbell.
