“This one comes again from gaz's collection, so thanks very much again and again for spreading these recordings.
He equalized the first side of his tape, and you'll notice it sounds good, in spite of being quite hissy. Side 2 is an
altogether different story. He told me the sound was completely different from side 1. That's true, except for Streets Of
Laredo. It is at the beginning of his 2nd side, but it cuts off. Heartbreak Hotel cuts in, so my guess is that whoever
recorded this one, that person changed tapes right there. And I say changed tapes because the sound is quite worse after
that, it seems to have been recorded on a lower quality cassette than the first half of the concert. I've done my best to
make side 2 listenable, and to my ears it's much better now. I also worked by adjusting via equalization. Appart from that,
I applied some limitation to the crowd/clapping, but not to the music. The final results for Heartbreak Hotel and Close Watch
are worse, these being the quietest pieces. I've tried the final files in my system at home, as well as in my car stereo, and a
slight bass boost wouldn't do this any harm, but I leave that final adjustment up to you.” (machen)
