Taper Notes:

View Notes*  I patched a 2 second gap in Mexicali Blues, along with all of Drums and Space from a different source:  FOB > (Jim Vita's) Beyer Dynamic M160's > Sony TCD5M 
My buddy Cas took my D5 on the road for a couple of shows and this is one of them.  He patched out of "The Veteran's" mics which happen to be the same kind as mine.
I asked where they recorded from and Cas said they were "way up front".
I should put out a big thanks to "The Veteran" who was responsible for me getting my own pair of Beyer M-160's!

R.I.P. Sandy - aka "Bigfoot"  -  He was a friend of mine who had nothing to do with this recording but we sure do miss him!

-
- there was a tape problem at 0:58 in Dupree's. I put in a sub-second patch
- Space has a patch 2:49 - 2:59, which has been mix-pasted by aproximatey 2.5 seconds
  at either end
- last 1:09 of NFA and crowd patched
- source 1 patches for Dupree's and Space.  Source 2 patches for NFA and crowd.  They have
  been eq'd so that they have a closer match to the sound of this source
- crossfades added where tape had been paused between some tracks and on tape flips,
  except during Space (see above)
- mastered using Wavelab v5 as host for iZotope Ozone v3.08, TC Works Native Dex v3.1 and
  BBE Sonic Maximiser v2


Comments:

- the vocals are lower in the mix during much of the first 2 tracks
- what I'd really like to know is "Who was Harry?"
