- This show is one long set but they play several songs acoustically after "Man's World."
- After "Man's World" Weir says "We're gonna take a break from all this sweat and  steam and uproar and tumult and we're gonna break out our acoustic guitars and regale you with some wooden music." @

Notes:

- I decided to go with Cousinit for the main aud source because once you strip away the grime there is quite a good recording hiding underneath. I have completely remastered it, including pitch adjustment and noise reduction. Hanno's source has been used to patch in anything which was missing and has also been remastered.

Tracks 1 - 8 are all source 1 except for the start of track 1, the start of track 4 and the end of track 8.
Tracks 9 has a small patch at the end and there are several in track 10. These are source 2 with patches from source 3.
Track 11 all source 2
Track 12 source 2 with a patch from source 3
Track 13 all source 2
Track 14 is source 2 with a small patch from source 3.
Track 15 all source 2
Tracks 16 and 17 are all source 3.

NB: I found that both of the aud sources appear to have been patched originally, with inferior sources.

Please don't expect miracles because I am still practising, but the audience portion does sound a lot better than it has in the past.

Thanks to Jim Wise for transferring his cassette.

Thanks Joe B. Jones for his help with pitch correction.

Thanks to Cousinit and Hanno for the patch sources.

Thanks to Charlie Miller for orchestrating this.

This is the complete show. The SBD contains //Me & My Uncle through Uncle John//, the rest is spliced in from the AUD tape recorded by Harry Ely.

Contrary to the current Deadlists entry, the Other One drums and the Lovelight in this version are both complete - they were spliced in from a very old source which had these segments intact.

- Thanks to Mark Terry for the source cassette recording

- Many of the songs are clipped at the start, "Black Peter" is clipped on both ends, "Uncle John's Band" cuts in at "it's a buck dancer's choice my friend", the beginning of "Cowboy Song" may or may not be clipped
- The disparity between this source and the cousinit source, made using the cousinit source for patching the acoustic set a non-starter, IMO
- There has been no noise reduction or equalization applied to this source. Except for some level tweaks, smoothing of abrupt transitions, and the above patches, this is what is on Mark's cassette - sing-a-longs, mic bumps, coughs, etc., warts and all
- Pitch corrected

Taper Notes:

View NotesI believe this is a different AUD version compared to Ely's master. An example is how Katie Mae differs(to me) in the way the guitar is captured.
In the Ely verson the guitar can barely be heard.  This verson has the guitar much more prominent.

The Other One is a absolute monster...

Enjoy!
