Comments:
The goal was to patch the Gator Jam splice from the Anthem CD and try and fix the numerous pitch issues, including varying pitch within songs. In general, Jerry and Bobby were in and out of tune throughout the show.

Cool Edit Pro v2.0 was used for all edits. 
All files encoded  WAV>FLAC via Flac Frontend v1.7.1 (level 8, align sector boundaries).
All discs retracked with CD Wav v1.93 beta.
Thanks to Seth for the original shn set.
Thanks to SP for pitch help and general instigational services.
Thanks to Joe "Pitch Bitch" Jones. 
D.Winters - 12/19/07.

(*) The Encore has been placed on Disc 1 in order to
retain the continuity of the First and Second Sets. However,
if you have the capability of burning 80 min CDs, you can place
the Encore as track 11 on the Disc 2 (with about 20 seconds
to spare).

Thanks to Jim Douglas for the excellent copy of this show!

(version C2)

The tracks from "Tuning Break" thru "Midnight Hour" appear to be from a different
source than the rest of the show (which is pretty clean). These tracks have a significant 
increase in the amount of tape hiss present. I found it to interfere with my enjoyment
of the music.

I created Hiss Reduced versions of these tracks for this supplement. I also
crossfaded the real change (?) at ~11:40 in Alligator so that it doesn't
blow your tweeters out! If you wish to create a CD using these HR tracks, simply use 
them instead of the ones in the main distribution. The main distribution files were
the source for these supplment tracks.

I used Sound Forge Noise Reduction to do the hiss reduction and other "voodoo". 
The tracks which were modified are included in the directory with this file.

Here are the tracks that this supplement replaces:

Disc 1
7.  Midnight Hour

Disc 2
7.  Tuning Break
8.  Alligator > Drums > Alligator (reprise) >
9.  Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)
10. Alligator Underwater Feedback

Enjoy!
