Fire On the Mountain > | 1979-12-30 | Grateful Dead

View NotesIn order to make this source seamless I first had to fix the patch job from the end of space to the end of Truckin'.  The AUD source from LlaMA is actually very good - don't let the one reviewer who gave it 3 stars fool you.  I redid the patch in CE PRO, retracked d2t05, d3t01 and d3t02 and used shntool to clean up the sector boundaries.  The SHNs were converted to FLAC.

Overlapping fade tracks were added to the end of CD 2 and the beginning of CD 3 for those wishing to burn to CD.  For seamless playback simply remove the fade tracks.
