Pink Floyd
April 28, 1072
The Auditorium Theater, Chicago, Illinois
Master Aud. Cass.>DAT2x>Delta DI/O 2496 soundcard>Soundforge 7.0>CD Wave Editor>Flac

This show has been widely bootlegged and traded in various levels of quality.
Back in 2001, (someone who shall remain nameless) digitaized the cassette masters
for the first time. It was briefly tree'd on The Well in CD form but it never
seemed to make it into general circulation.

I have one of the few DAT clones made from the original DAT. For some of you that
already have this show, it should be an upgrade. If you have never heard this show,
hang on to your hat!  No equalizing or remastering is ever done to any shows I seed.
Here it is, as it was recorded that night back in 1972. Enjoy!

Disk 1

Dark Side of the Moon (all 10 tracks)

Disk 2

One of these Days
Careful with that Axe, Eugene
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Echoes


Please do not sell or convert to MP3.

Manufacturer News / The AGN II speaker system build
« Last post by HAL on Today at 05:03:31 AM »
The AGN II line array speaker will be a 2-way with 6 Radian Audio LM10n planars covering the 200Hz to 20KHz range and 6x12 OB H-Frame servo subs covering 14Hz to 200Hz. 

The dspNexus 2x8 DSP system with AKM AK4499EX DAC's will be the DSP crossover and input selection use.

The two 6x12 modular OB H-Frame servo sub cabinets are assembled and ready for painting.  These are Jay's modular cabinet flat packs I assembled.  These have a top plate the same size as the sub module top.  He also makes tops with overhangs.

Drop them off next week for painting.  The last 6-12in servo subs arrive this week.

Miles Davis Quintet
07-27-1957
Café Bohemia
New York, New York

Project ID - LL6

Source: FM Broadcast
Lineage: Mutual Network radio broadcast > Unknown Transfer(s) > ??> wav> flac

Miles Davis (tpt); Sonny Rollins (ts); William "Red" Garland (p); Paul Chambers (b);
Arthur Taylor (d); Guy Wallace (ann); Bill Coss (guest)

disc 1

d1t01. Introduction > Bye Bye Blackbird > Tune Up/
d1t02. / Tune Up
 
-------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- A fine performance, unfortunately with a voice-over guest interview, this recording
exhibits some low-level line hum as well as minor crackling and popping with a periodicity
that indicates vinyl in the lineage. Spectral analysis shows some type of hiss reduction
was applied at some point in the lineage, but some hiss remains throughout the audio spectrum.

- d1t01. Analysis shows 3 clipped digital samples in this track

- d1t01. Interview voiceover with Bill Coss begins at 8:33.500 with music continuing
in background. Track ends in the background complete very close to 9:16.000 while
interview continues.

- "Tune Up" fades in at around 9:34, still in the background of the
voiceover interview, missing the first few bars.

- This source is missing Foggy Day. Peter Losin has this listed at the end of the set.

-d1t02. The voiceover ends at about 0:08 and "Tune Up" is amplified back
into the foreground.

Transfer by Jimmy Sellers (pjimmy@delanet.com)
Fixes by Ben Mohr (bmohr@udel.edu)

-----------------------------------
 Disc 1:                   (30:54)
-----------------------------------
[Freebird (see notes)]
-Set IIp-
1. I Know a Little         (03:19)
2. You Enjoy Myself        (16:43)
3. Jesus Just Left Chicago (10:52)

-----------------------------------
 Disc 2:                   (62:04)
-----------------------------------
-Set III-
1. //Peaches en Regalia >  (02:56)
2. Mike's Song ->          (12:17)
3. I Am Hydrogen           (02:59)
4. Fluffhead               (15:32)
5. Happy Birthday/banter   (01:21)
6. Harry Hood              (14:25)
7. Satin Doll              (04:55)
8. Funky Bitch             (05:58)
9. Walk Away//             (01:41)

Notes:
-I choose not to do any hiss reduction since the hiss level is pretty low and I would
  prefer not to do any unneccessary resampling.  If you feel otherwise, go ahead.
-According to "The Phish Companion", the venue is often mislabeled The Roma
-JJLC is definitely the end of the second set as Mike? states, "We're gonna take one
  more short break" after YEM, but then Trey says, "We're gonna do one more song" so
  they begin JJLC.
-At the end of Satin Doll, the band is trying to decide what song to play and an audience
  member yells out "Freebird" which the band and some other audience members respond,
  "We/they did it already."  So, I'm guessing that Freebird was played earlier in the
  show.
-Walk Away is definitely the end of the show since Trey starts yelling, "Last call!"
  and bantering about tipping a bartender before Walk Away.
-Tape flips:
  d1t02 13:32
  d2t04 10:14
  d2t08 end

Fixes:
-Applied SF4.5 pitch shift of +30 cents w/ anti-alias filter to compensate for low pitch
-Removed digizap in d1t01 1:17.866-1:17.898 (0.032 sec)
-Minimized diginoise in d2t03 1:10-1:12 -- still present though (on all known copies -
  I asked all dat traders that I found to have this show to check their copy)
