I recommend burning Set1a on Disc 1, Set1b and Interview on Disc2, Set 2a on Disc3, and Set2b on Disc4. -This VCD presents a wonderful glimpse of the Grateful Dead during their infamous European run in the Spring of 1981. The video source was captured from a TV Broadcast that occurred the following day (3/29). Although the audio from the Broadcast is not bad, I noticed that it was not in stereo (you can hear the difference in the Broadcast audio patches). I considered synchronizing the audio from db.etree.org/shnid=16434 (Sean Cribbs seed of Justin Kreutzman's Master time-coded pre-broadcast tapes), but this source appears to be mono as well. Thus I embarked on the laborious task of synchronizing the Hanno Bunjes stereo simulcast source, as well as retracking the video so that Set 2A occurs on its own disc.
