Notes


Early Show?

-- The original had SBE errors and frequent clipping, but due to it's overall quality I thought
a re-seed of an upgraded version would be welcome. You will note there is still some distortion
due to the high levels of the original recording.
-- Normalized and levels dropped to repair clipping (dynamic compression to clipped regions).
-- Low frequencies boosted +6db.
-- Light hiss reduction (overall, the hiss is negligable except in some quieter sections).
-- End of "My Generation" (crowd noise) right channel dropout repaired by copying in left channel
(the reverb/echo heard toward end in Patti's vocal is in the original).
-- One glitch toward end of My Generation patched w/crossfade (<.3sec).
-- According to one attendee, the Late Show ended with "Time Is On My Side" and a "My Generation"
encore, which probably makes this the Early Show.
