| Note | Notes from the Re-master:
Multiple sources were used to produce this show. They all originated from a single source, namely, an audience recording made the night of the performance. The majority of the show is a known second generation tape of the concert, with additional components merged into the base recording from a 3rd generation tape. A patch was needed in the song The Remembering due to a “tape flip†in the master tape during that song. This patch came from a performance in Boston two nights earlier on 2/26/74. The second generation source had cuts in the audience applause between some songs and actually cut some brief dialogue just before Roundabout. Patches were used to fix these omissions. Here’s a bit of history about the tapes of this recording used for this re-master, “The 3rd gen. Cassettes most likely represent all of the tape that was recorded that night, while the confirmed 2nd gen. was acquired on CDR and had a small amount of in-between song tape missing. There is an AWFUL lot of Hiss and what sounds like occasional tape damage on the 2nd gen, but the same damage is present in parts on the 3rd gen. as well. While the 2nd gen had more hiss and noise it still seemed to be the stronger of the 2 tapes. The way the tape was traded as a cassette was this: Two 90min tapes. Side A - Firebird/Sib khat/AYAI/CTTE Side B - RSOG/Remembering Side C - The Ancient/Ritual/applause Side D - Roundabout On the 3rd gen., there is quite a bit of applause NOT included on the 2nd gen. and it's most likely that the 2nd gen. source had Roundabout put on a "used" tape {which accounts for it sounding slightly different from the rest of the show). It was quite common when trading to just put an 8 minute encore as clearly-labeled filler on another tape.â€Â            Once the sources were spliced, merged and mixed together the main goal was to reduce the “awful†amount of hiss and noise in this recording. The signal strength was strong with good detail and viable music signal up to 10,000 Hz. An occasional tape slip or stretch occurred and was corrected as well as possible, but still audible. Rare dropouts were short enough that they could be masked without too much trouble. The hiss was quite disruptive in many segments of the recording and seemed to get worse as the concert went on. There were also bursts of hiss that would occur from time to time as if someone was interfering with a radio signal –which was obviously not the case here since this was an audience recording. As always, a compromise needed to be made to remove as much noise as possible without damaging the audible music. With the noise reduced significantly, we can now hear Jon lead in the others at 19:28 of Ritual with “one, two, ready, goâ€. Many other details of the music are now audible and more clearly appreciated. The right channel amplitude was reduced 15% to compensate for an imbalance in channel signal strength and all songs were speed corrected which helped to adjust the tempo and tonality. |
