notes:
The original DAT recording was made with pre-emphasis.  The pre-emphasis has been removed with Samplitude.
The original 48 kHz .wav files from the DAT transfer have been archived, and are available upon request.
Big thanks to Dave for letting me borrow the master DAT!

alternate tracking note:
If you really want to fit Set II onto one 80 minute CD, you can do it.
If you remove the "intro" track to Set II and the "encore break" track, Set II will be 79:37, which should fit onto a CD.
The downside of that option is you won't get to hear the chess move at the start of Set II.  bummer.

Note:
The primary difference between this seed and the original seed of Dave's source is the pre-emphasis.
For reference, I originally seeded Dave's source of this show on 12/25/05.
Detailed information regarding that seed is available here: http://db.etree.org/shn/32874
At the time that I originally seeded Dave's source, I was just learning about pre-emphasis.
As such, there were a few of my seeds from around that time that have not been de-emphasized.
For this seed, I went back to the 48 kHz files from the original DAT transfer to remove the pre-emphasis.
This new seed sounds less harsh, more natural, and is a better representation of the sound at the venue.
Other (relatively minor) differences include:
A different program for resampling to 44.1kHz, a newer version of FLAC compression, and FLAC tags on this new seed.
