Taper Notes:
View Notes* unfinished. First Time Played: Steampowered Aeroplane (John Hartford cover). A little history (for those who care): This set was the second of three that SCI played at their first (and only to date) Merlefest. It was played at about 1PM during a pouring rainstorm. It didn't seem to stop the action and to this date remains probably the single best set of SCI I've had the honor to witness. This DSBD surfaced a little while back. Merlefest is a notoriously non-taping festival, to the extent that when JonO extended a patch at the Main Stage on 4/27, festival authorities made him pull it back. It is essentially flawless, aside from a few spots of static here and there which are minor, but should be noted. I would assume they are related to the miserable weather that was happening. For the transfer, I ran the Clipped Peak Restoration tool in Soundforge to remove some of areas where my tape was overblown. In addition, the first two minutes of the show were balanced from a level standpoint with how the rest of the show sounds. I hope you enjoy the results of the work and hope this set brings you as much enjoyment as it has brought me. Jimbo
