Comments:
For the show in general, multiple noise reduction techniques were used to remove tape noise where necessary. There was also an intermittent noise that interfered with the enjoyment of the dialogue and other quiet sections. This needed to be repaired when found and was repaired successfully. The balance was audibly off-center when listening to the original recording but was easily fixed for the remaster. The dynamics of the show were also enhanced where possible but no significant change to the tonality was made.
A tape flip gap occurs just before The Carpet Crawlers. The gap leaves out the introduction to this song. Rather than splice in another soundboard sourced song introduction, we made the decision to splice in the audience recording from that night. This patch itself is incomplete because a gap in this section occurs in this source as well but still, we decided to use this source. The reason was two-fold. First, as an alternative source for that evening’s performance, using the audience recording was more accurate to represent the evening’s event. This is important because Phil jokes that the band will begin to play the entire Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. Secondly, this audience source does capture the beginning of The Carpet Crawlers and so easily completes the song.
Probably the most important component of this remaster was the speed correction. Each disc was speed corrected separately. The tracks were compared with established references and a clear pattern of speed error emerged. Correction of this error improves the recording enormously, in our opinion. The show was then re-tracked to separate the songs from the introductions and to insure that the track points conform to established standards.
