Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes:

- After the Egypt sources, the anonymous taper contacted me 
to talk about transferring and editing some more masters from 
his collection. These Greek Theater shows were a tapers choice, 
a run he holds near and dear. These tapes were made by a group 
of friends. The taper explained how he had spent the majority 
of the weekend waiting in line just to get to the sweet spot 
inside the venue where he knew the sound would be at its best. 
He didn't want to see these tapes (and many others) that represent 
wonderful moments in music history, deteriorate without ever being 
circulated. For him, these tapes represent really great times, 
where friendships were made by individuals from different 
backgrounds and talents with a common goal of trying to capture 
the sense of being there.

- Patch at the beginning of cassidy and it's all over now baby blue from shnID 23658

- Good Lovin patched in from shnID 23658

- All tape flips and short pauses between songs are cross faded

- Another nice speciman. Very full sounding. 

- Thanks to MOTB for the use of the HD-p2

Adobe Audition, iZoptope Ozone, CD Wave, shorten used

Taper Notes:

View NotesThis is the same as shnid 7091 with Good Lovin' added so that the show is now complete.

Good Lovin' was joined by fading the volume at the end of the applause on Baby Blue to match the levels at the start of Good Lovin'. There was a small gap in Good Lovin' at 0:00:50 which was repaired using Adobe Audition. The vocals were a little low so I have raised their prominence using iZoptope Ozone. Then they were tracked with CD Wave and  shns made with shorten.

There is a small dropout in the right channel at &:05 in Good Lovin'
