The Other One -> 4. Comes A Time 5. Sugar Magnolia 6. E: Brokedown Palace sound is generally a bit muddy, some hiss Pigpen's voice is almost inaudible at times and sometimes distortion & pops from Keith's piano pick-up, the best & most complete version currently in circulation a lot of minor anomalies (mainly clicks) throughout discs 1 + 2 d3t03: tape warble @18:47-18:52, sounds like a master cassette flaw d1t06: very beginning is missing (a few seconds worth) this show was treed on the Eurotraders list by Hanno Bunjes a while ago. i received his version, too, and to my surprise found that it sounded flatter and muddier than my old hissy unknown-gen tapes of the show. therefore, i sent both Hanno?s discs and my tapes to Bill Giles for comparison and Bill told me that in his opinion, the tapes sounded brighter because someone had boosted the high range, whereas the discs sounded like someone had done a bad "remastering" job on them. However, as Hanno got his discs from Jeff Tiedrich who says the discs were made from cassette masters found in Betty's famous storage locker, that cannot possibly be the case. Anyway, Bill proceeded to brighten the sound of the discs using SoundForge, and collected some 3-4 other versions of the show meanwhile, for comparison. Hanno?s (tidied up) version turned out to be the best one he had and i in turn sent a copy of that to Glenn Gillis in the States, who is running a tree of the show on the CDead list right now. Glenn had yet another version of 4-11-72 to compare Bill?s remaster to and told me, Bill?s version sounded "MUCH better" than what he had had previously. in short: even if Bill is not suffiently satisfied to call this "remastered" or give it his "Just About Exactly Perfect Productions" label, this seems to be the best version in circulation now and thus merits another distribution :) Bill Giles remastering notes: "What do you do with an excellent concert that circulates digitally on muddy CD only and for which cassette copies, while superficially brighter, carry a lot of noise and distortion? Frustrating. I suspect the CD's lack of edge is the result of an uninspired noise reduction job [which makes the MC>D>CD lineage questionable]. I've simply tried to brighten it up by re-equalisation. I've also rebalanced the tracks (the right track was relatively overweight) and attenuated a few glitches. It ain't great, but it's definitely better. From the master disc, the opening notes of Big Boss Man are missing, and the start of Good Lovin' is an AUD patch; and there are some crackles, particularly in Brown-Eyed Women and Truckin', and a number of drop-outs and wobbles throughout the concert. I would not describe it as 'remastered' - just 'tidied up'. I guess linage should read: MR>??>CDR>Sound Forge 4.5>CDR" |
