Taper Notes:

View NotesThe Wav files for Set I was corrupt and unreadable/unplayable. I read Set I into DC8.5 Forensics 
software, and rewrote the header so that it was listed as 16 bits/44.1kHz. It then played and 
sounded right. After that, the only processing was a little bit of editing (fade in at the beginning 
of the show) and some equalization to counter the pre-emphasis and roll the bass off slightly 
below 100 hz to cut down on the boominess.

already mastered to take full adavantage of the CD dynamic range,
seamless, and expertly tracked.  Originally tracked on 3 discs with
set 1 on a single disc and the second set split between space and
truckin'.  Either way it was seamless so you can burn three discs
if you prefer.  End of Brokedown is brokedown at 05:03 with the
remainder of the song provided by a multianalog generation SBD
