* Patched from different recording of the same night.
After having seeded "Bleating and babbling" a couple of months ago,
which is the complete and untouched version of the other recorder for
this same night, I finally found a copy of the second recorder. My
source is a first gen tape which came from the taper himself, a man from
Eindhoven who isn't a Pink Floyd fan in particular but who has taped all
their shows in the Netherlands since that night nonetheless! This tape
has been transferred on CD-R and I received an exact copy of this CD-R.
This recording sounds much clearer and less noisy than "B&B", although
this taper obviously was more distant to the stage than rec1. But this
recording had more anomalies, like volume fluctuations and crackle. The
recording stops during SOYCD, obviously because of problems with the
recorder (bad cassette I guess). Then the source starts again right for
the beginning of the encore 'Money'.
To fill the gap, that is SOYCD7-9 and audience noise until the first
cash register effects, I used a patch from "B&B". This patch has been
indexed separately.
***************************
Show identifyer:
° Mr. Waters sneers '11' at 4:38 into 'Pigs3DO' after the second verse,
not the third this time.
° Just like on the first night of the tour in Dortmund (23 Jan), the
mono effect tape at the end of 'HAC' doesn't start on time, so the song
ends abruptly.
***************************
Here is what I've done to the sources:
REC2-
° channels rebalanced;
° Equalisation permitted to make the vocals and guitar a little bit
clearer and to reduce considerably the hiss; ° The most obvious short
volume fluctuations have been mastered, longer parts of lower and higer
volume (especially during 'Dogs') have been left as they were in order
to not denaturate the tape recording; ° some pops, noises, clipping and
anomalies were removed.
Alas, tape warbles and some analog crackle is impossible to remove
without leaving a scar. Especially the tape anomalies at the end of rec2
were difficult to attenuate, but I wanted to leave as much possible of
this source, until the tape completely lost it. The only thing you miss
is constant warble for 2 more minutes until the source cuts.
Patch from REC1-
° Speedcorrected (96.5%);
° Channels rebalanced;
° Equalisation made vocals clearer, drum less 'boosted' and the overall
less noisy and dull and reduced a lot of hiss; ° Volume has been tweaked
to fit with the volume of the main source.
The overall volume is quite low at times, though the loudest parts are
close to saturation... You might feel the need to raise the volume a
little below clipping point for burning to CD-R.
Many many thanks to Jemig de Pemig for the source!
Thanks also to the people who gave me advice for this first 'remaster'
attempt.
