OU: Okay, where to start on this one. The original idea for this release goes back to July of 2005. I was lent the DAT for the first recorder and was pleasantly surprised of its quality. While the level of hiss was about the same as on all the other versions of this show that I had, this one did not have that annoying sqeaking that lurked in the background of the others. After giving a copy of the transfer to Rudy C., he did a quick speed correction of the transfer. I was very pleased with the results of this and decided that it should be released to the masses. This was August of 2005.
Unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way of hobbying, and things get pushed to the back burner and forgotten.
Sometime in February of this year while hard at work on the second DVD release for HHO, I brought up the subject of this Fillmore thing to my partner in crime Arnold_Layne. We both thought that it would be a great idea, but that the second recorder would need to be spliced in to make a complete show. God knows I did not have the time to fool around with this. This is how Rudy inevitably came back into the equation.
Rudy took the original unprocessed transfer of Recorder 1, downsampled it to 44.1KHz and spliced in the missing bits using the best copy of Recorder 2 we could find. The entire thing was speed corrected and volumes adjusted. I then took this version and smothed out the transitions further. All of the editing was done using Cool Edit Pro 2.1.
Now while this isn't perfect, some transitions are barely noticible, while some are more so. There is also some tape warble present in the first bit of 'Set The Controls' that could not be fixed. All this being said, this is the most complete and the best sounding version of this show that you are likely to find.
Now without further delay, Arnold_Layne and myself are proud to give you 'A Polished Diamond.' sydb march 2006

Wasn't this show the same day (in the evening) as their KQED performance? A busy day for the lads...
As always, thanks. It will make a nice addition to my archives.
(& RapidShare can bite the big one given the amount of work they made me do this weekend searching here & elsewhere trying to figure out what I can download in the next month/90days. Ah well, if nothing else it made me clean up my filing system a bit)
this is great ! i tend to like the material that the band did before Dark Side of the moon( not that I don't like the record but the radio has just over played anything by the band since that album) by the way the review reads you and your crew put alot of work into this and I am grateful thank you very much for sharing this show !!1
quite right. different offering of the famous "Interstellar Encore'.
the show was great 3rd row dead center and my 8 year old call called on stage during the 2nd set!!
Dave
Your 8 year old crawled on stage? You were there? Tell us more
There's some speculation that the KQED show was actually a different day. eg. Harvested now think it was 30th
This is at least my fourth copy of this show, which was previously redone by Harvested as HRV016 Interstellar Fillmore and before that as Interstellar Encore.
For the benefit of anyone downloading, I have to say I prefer the Harvested version. Compare StCftHotS on both. This new version has dreadful wow/flutter - it is unlistenable. On the plus side this appears longer - the intersong dialogues for example.
This bootleg have some longer tune ups, besides that, Insterstellar Fillmore is the best version.
