Grateful Dead (Charlie Miller > TomP Remaster) ============================================== 1969-04-21 The Ark Boston, MA Source: Dime post by corbett - thanks !! http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=172920 Miller Recording Info: SBD -> Master Reel -> Dat -> CD Transfer Info: CD -> Samplitude Professional v9.12 -> FLAC (3 Discs Audio / 2 Discs FLAC) All Transfers and Mastering By Charlie Miller charliemiller87@earthlink.net November 13, 2007 Patch Info: Alternate SBD source provides: Introduction (complete track) 2nd Cryptical Envelopment (1:21 - 6:19) Dark Star (14:52 - 16:36) Turn On Your Lovelight (23:56 - end of track) Notes: -- Cleaned up numerous flaws and fixed the levels -- Alligator has a false start -- Tape runs out during Feedback Fine new artworks from fastone are included - thanks - Tag&Rename was used to create flac tags from these Photo also included taken from comment by corbett Quality: Must be an A++ now ---------------------------- The original is one of the best GD SBDs Ive heard from this era, one of the last of the setlists mainly from (IMHO) their great 1968-9 era. It has all the dynamic range preserved, low noise and no processing. Of the 3 recent Ark shows, the lack of an extra cassette stage in the lineage really shows compared to the other two (22nd & 23rd). IMHO this one is way the best !! Huge thanks must go to the original recorder and of course, the great Charlie Miller for his enormous body of dedicated work and with whom I had an Email exchange, where he gave me a go-ahead. The work I did was fairly subtle, but the sound of Phil Lesh's bass is restored to closer to it's wonderful powerful best, whilst the general sound and dynamics are significantly better. Despite the improvement in the frequency extremes, there has been absolutely no EQ, compression or NR used here, just correcting recording and venue artifacts, so to my ears it sounds clearer and more dynamic than the Bertha version. I'm also particularly please with the improvement in the previously poor sounding Lovelight patch. TomP post on Dime, April 2013...Enjoy !!
