Jameskg's Notes:
This is pretty close to the high speed reel master source, with only one CDR gen (if the
lineage is to be believed). Presence has a DAT of this master he says is a hair longer, but
he can't get it to cooperate and may try to get another copy from the trader. His probably
won't have suffered from the track cuts my source did, so it'll be a bit different, if he can
ever track it back down. For now, here's mine.

JAMESKG:
--------------
- SHN to WAV (FOOBAR2000)
- CEP 2.0 to fix splices (mostly ALAIHY, KF - see below)
- WAV to FLAC8 (FLAC FRONTEND) verified, aligned on sectors. No clicks, pops.
This show had some PA problems in a few places (Jones' bass rig, mainly) and the PA had a slight buzz
all night (only noticeable between songs or very quiet passages). But hey, that's how it went down that
night, so it's just like being there - except - Plant's mic seems distant - which adds credibility to
the 2 neumanns on stage thing. They'd have picked up the drums and amps and Roberts voice would have
been on the house PA, which was probably just forward of the mics (or in line). I kind of like it this
way - as I can really hear the band!
This is a good source, but the track marks were screwed up. I fixed them all and merged the splits back
together. A DC surge was corrected at 7:56.50 in ALAIHY.
There is a tape speed up during recording in White summer - I slowed the section back down to match pitch
the best I could. You can tell where it is, but I recovered 3 or 4 seconds of lost Jimmy no one has probably
heard since then!
Converted to flac 8 when done. The taper didn't do a perfect job, but the sound is a B+ or an A.
Presence's Notes:
Can't take any credit for this one -- it's all Jameskg's baby. And an incredible sounding one at that. A MUST
HAVE. This blows away any and all bootleg releases.
