*patch from August 19, 2004 recording (same taper, same recording gear, different location)
Recorded from 2nd Mezzanine, Row A, Seat 208
The master DAT had 2 problems: 1) a very short burst of digi-noise during Cygnus X-1 portion of the R30 Overture and 2) Outro was missing. These problems were remedied with portions of the next night's performace from the same venue, although from a different taper location.
Remastering included minimal EQ (mid cut, bass and high end boost), amplitude adjustments and normalization to 0dB. No dynamic compression nor other processing were done to the recording. The recording is wonderful with much warmth in the bass and good midrange punch. It's hard to fathom that this recoring is from the 2nd Mezzanine level of the venue.
