Taper Notes:

View NotesRecorded by Steve Rolfe, Section 61 (Front Middle), Row S, Seat 7.
($8.50 Admission). One mic was pointed at the PA (left or right)
and the other at the drums. Rango Keshavan took his master tapes and 
put them onto DAT.  Jim Wise took those DAT's and ran a 
10dB noise reduction and gave the bass a boost @ 125Hz.  He then sent
a CD set to Rango, who did the EAC and converted them to SHNs.
