-----------------------------------------------------
technical notes:
Using SoX, I adjusted the speed/pitch of the recording.
I used Linda's AKG 460/ck61 recording (shnid 11529) as a reference for the correct speed/pitch.
It's probably not totally completely perfect. But it's wicked close.
And it probably won't get better than this until we get a transfer straight from the DAT,
without the cassette generation. But who knows if or when the master DATs will ever be available.

I also added gain using SoX. I added +0.75 dB to set 1, and +4.5 dB to set 2.

The advantage of having the "master" cassettes made post show is that each set had overlapping material on both sides of the cassette.
There was a cut in "Split Open and Melt" for a tape flip. But Side B started with the beginning of "Split Open and Melt" again.
I was therefore able to seamlessly splice together the two tape sides, and form a complete and uncut set 1.
I did similar seamless splices in "Stash" and "Suzy Greenberg" to form a complete and uncut set 2.
("Suzy Greenberg" and "Funky Bitch" were at the end of side B of the set 1 cassette, which is why two splices were needed for set 2.)
You won't hear any of these splice, at all.

However, there was some missing crowd noise during the encore break.

I patched in the missing material with the following source:
AKG 460 cards > Teac > Technics SV 260A > DAT
http://db.etree.org/shn/11529

The AKG 460/ck61 source was used at the following location:
d3t02 - "encore break" - [00:12] to [01:23] (no music missing, just crowd noise)
