Matrix of Crystal Cat & Stage Mic recordings (see below) by stewART, February 2009 - 2 CD, Notes -, Stage Mic (SM) - The original is of very mixed quality, so I added compression & EQ w/ T-Racks24 to brighten the sound. Adjusted db as necessary. The enhanced version reveals very prominent vocals, BD's guitar & harp, bass (esp on left ch), steel gtr & drums, and when merged with the Crystal Cat seems to enhance these in particular, as well as giving the whole sound more breadth and presence. Note - for fans of BD's lead guitar work, it is more prominent than usual on this show, on d1 05,06,07,12,13 & d2 01,02,04,05,06,08,09,12 ! (Note some frequent Scots voices in the crowd to this effect... "Go on yersel' Bob..." ! ), Crystal Cat (CC) - Typically of Crystal Cat, this recording has been over-amplified so that the very upper frequencies have been clipped (looking at the tracks visually, the wave-forms have a flattened top). Mergeing with SM restores the upper frequencies to some extent, although it's a pity the source recording used by Crystal Cat is not available (so far) !No EQ adjustment was used on this., As revealed by the SM recording, there are 8 short cuts on the CC version from the intervals between songs, so this matrix restores the show to it's complete length ! (before 104,105,109,110, 201,204,208,212) Also, there were very short silences at start of the CC tracks on my version, now eliminated., Audience notes - A lively crowd ! Before 206, Girl of the North Country, "Neil Young !", and an earlier shouted request for "Changing of the Guard" (who was that, Jimmy ?) !, As with any project of it's kind, perhaps some things could be further improved - maybe I'll revisit it, or someone else will ! Thanks to LuisBP and some others at Hunger City who listened to early samples of this project., Comments welcome to - stew@stewartgrant.freeserve.co.uk, stewART, February 2009
