OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This show came to me as a work in progress and the files were not completely processed because apparently this was another taper's project that was never fully completed.
I had to track out the raw WAV file for the Bruce Springsteen set in Audacity and also edit a tape flip at the end of the set and splice in the two encores, which had been tracked on to the end of the CSNY raw WAV file and did not appear to belong there. Two songs were missing in the Bruce Springsteen set and I couldn't locate them on any of the untracked raw WAV files that were supplied to me.
Fortunately I was able to obtain them from the same source a day later. They had inadvertently been left off the first batch sent to me, so those two tracks were level matched, and spliced into the Springsteen set with splices repaired. Each set is listed individually in separate folders, but the show will play sequentially in order from start to finish. All sound files have been down sampled to 16 bit / 44.1kHz in Audacity, and converted to FLAC with tags added via xACT 2.51. Thanks to all involved for the capture of this first ever Bridge benefit show, and thanks as well to 'Rocksuitcase' from Taperssection.com for making his uncompleted files available for me to add the finishing touches and complete this amazing show. The sound on the Bruce Springsteen set is a bit 'hollow', possibly as a result of weak internal batteries in the Nakamichi microphone bodies, but this is just a guess. Front-cover artwork added to FLAC tags.
