Special thanks to:
--buffalofloyd for Recorder 1
--ravingandrooling for Recorder 2
--ddyte for the “DYI Patch Kit”, which I used for the last part of the show, taking advantage of the work that was already done there

OU: I put this version of this show together for my own edification, but figured some people might want to hear it as well, so here it is. FWIW, I received good feedback on a couple similar PF efforts, namely Hollywood Bowl ’72 (later dubbed “Platinum Crackers”) and Chicago ’77.
What I have here is the superior audience source (Recorder 1) patched with the second recording (Recorder 2) in places where Recorder 1 had cuts – that is, except for the brief places when both tapers shut off their equipment, mostly between songs. Keep in mind that this is not merely Recorder 1 with the "DYI Patch Kit" at the end, but also with a couple of other patches/blends from Recorder 2 earlier in the show (see below) and some other processing. Specifically, here’s the work I did:
--Meticulously speed-corrected both sources – Recorder 2 was waaay slow, FYI
--**Removed a bit of hiss from both sources – those who are against this practice, beware. There was too much hiss for my taste and that’s why I decided to make this adjustment, but I know there are many who prefer this not be done. Nevertheless, I encourage you to check out the samples in the torrent (all under 20 seconds) before you judge. I think it’s a considerable improvement, but that’s just me.
--Blended in roughly 40 seconds of Recorder 2 just after the end of Embryo to compensate for a cut – Recorder 2 was wobbly at this point, making this a serious challenge
--Blended in Recorder 2 for a 5-10 second cut in CWTAE
--Blended in Recorder 2 from “DYI Patch Kit” at 15:14 of Echoes (where Recorder 1 ends) through the end of the show

The only music that both recorders missed are a few seconds at start of CWTAE and a few seconds at 24:30 of Echoes; both were also turned off between songs for the most part, but not much seems to have been missed. No artwork, but please feel free to create and post your own.
