This is a nice recording from hoppkorv.
He has given me permission to put out this altered version.
On the original most of the energy/sound was in the right channel.
I've leveled out the two sides and now the music is quite centered in the
stereo image.
I've applied some slight EQ work also.
I cut the lowest frequencies in the low end where there
wasn't really any musical information.
I also cut a bit around 400 Hz.
I left the high end as he made it.
Although that cut at 400 Hz opens up the high end a bit more.
I then have brought up the music and the peaks without messing with the
dynamics too much.

I did apply some extra limiting to 'One More Saturday Night'.
By bringing the peaks from close clapping in that song under control I was able
to do all of the rest of the work of leveling out the channels etc
to the rest of the show.


Besides my notes here, this info file is based on hoppkorv's original.

I've tracked this out for CD burning.
It's sbe ok.

By no means a 'great' recording, but not too bad. Definitely a great show! I've seen no other posting of this show yet, so I though I'd share this.
Great fun was had by all!
