Yes I know there are terrific DSBDs of this run but as many of you may
have figured out Desolation Row is messed up.  My SBD DATs of these
shows are 2nd Gen I may guess is that all DSBDs in circulation have a
goofed up Desolation Row.

Oh yeah, before you think yours is good, listen again.  Someone edited
out 1 or 2 verses to try and disguise and/or cut out the bad flaws the
exist.

Anyway, and old friend of mine, Brad T., had a cassette master > DAT of
this show without any errors on that song.  Cassettes were made that
night too.  That would make for great patch material but I since lost
touch with Brad T and lost the DAT he sent with the clean analog SBD
Desolation Row.

Brad if you are out there or if anyone else has the SBD: Cassette Master
> DAT version of Grateful Dead at Madison Square 9/14/91 I'd like to get
my hands on it for an exciting DVD project.  And of course one of the
first copies would immediately be dropped on your doorstep.

Happy Holidays and a GREAT New Years to all.

Here is my Bandwidth TAX offer.  I'll send this to several folks picked
at random:

DTS-Audio-CD 5.1 Mix
 
01 [02:18] Scentless Apprentice (fades in)

=========================================================

Source Info

SBD: Soundboard > Sony TCD-D3 DAT 
SBD:  DAT (x) > CDR(3) > EAC > HD

SBD #1: This source cuts in halfway through 'Scentless Apprentice' 
and is missing 'Serve The Servants' entirely. 'Rape Me' cuts off 
and it is missing everything after this. It is rumored that this 
soundboard recording was made by stealth, i.e. without permission. 
The recording is incomplete due to the taper's batteries dying.

AUD: Unknown "I Hate Myself And I Want To Die" [bootleg release] 
AUD: "I Hate Myself & Want to Die" CD(M) > CDR(1) > EAC > HD

AUD #4: Source is incomplete. It is missing 'Blew', 'Territorial 
Pissings' and the vast majority of 'Aneurysm'. It is also out of 
order: 'Something In The Way' curiously appears after 'Where Did 
You Sleep Last Night?'. This source is only available on the 
bootleg 'I Hate Myself And Want To Die' and its clones 'I Love 
Myself And Want To Live' and 'Heart-Shaped Box' (Grapefruit). It
is worth noting that the 'Heart-Shaped Box' (Grapefruit) bootleg 
is inferior sounding to 'I Hate Myself And I Want To Die'. 

=========================================================

Tech Notes

EAC used on both sources in secure mode to extract all tracks 
at 100% no reported errors. SF 6.0 was used to reassemble 
the tracks back to 1 long wave.  CEP2.0 was used to align & 
synch the SBD & the AUD sources.  CEP2.0 used to adjust the 
volume for the AUD, SBD, Matrix and LFE channels. Surcode 
CD Pro DTS was used to encode to DTS.

Notes

Seems like the snare drum causes a mic overload problem on
the SBD source.  The top end of these drum beats sounds like
a pop.  This will be noticeable in both the 5.1 mix and the
SBD + AUD matrix mix.  The matrix mix did help to reduce
this problem however.

SBD fades into 'Scentless Apprentice'.  AUD was trimmed to
match and this is where the synching/mixing of these 2
sources begins.

Various between song anomalies and cuts/pauses were found 
and fixed by either trimming the SBD or the AUD to match. 
Sometimes a crossfade was done on one or both sources to 
keep things sounding smooth and natural.  These edits, quite 
a few, were pretty much just dead air/crowd noise.  No talking, 
tuning or anything of interest was missing.  These edits are 
smooth and most likely undetectable.

d1t01 'Scentless Apprentice' 0:43.593 - '0:45.415' (1.821)
left channel digital errors fixed with right channel swap.

d1t02 4:55.299 - 5:02.148 (6.849) missing crowd cheer on SBD 
source.  No talking or tuning was missing, just crowd noise.  
AUD was trimmed to match.   This is smooth and most likely 
undetectable.

d1t07 'Drain You ' 23:03.200 - 23:05.697 (2.497) right channel 
dropout.  This is fixed using a left channel swap.  This is 
smooth and most likely undetectable.

d1t09 'Aneurysm' 27:17.504 - 27:19.004 (1.500) track 9 cuts 
and a 1.5 second crossfade was performed into the start of
track 10 'Very Ape'.  Nothing is missing of track 9.  I thought 
this would make for a more enjoyable listening experience. The
crossfade is obvious to the listener but better than the cut IMO.

d1t12 'Rape Me' cuts off at '35:23.592' on the SBD source and 
that where the mixing of these sources ends.

If you play this DTS-Audio-CD and hear static it is b/c you 
didn't really read the text file, did you? 

=========================================================

More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel sound, 
like DTS and Dolby Digital.  While the Audio-CD standard (Red 
Book) hasn't changed to accommodate these new sound formats, it 
is still possible to go around the specification and to put a 
5.1 surround recording on a regular Audio-CD.  To play a 
DTS-Audio-CD you must connect your DVD/CD player via a digital 
cable (optical or coaxial) to your DTS Dolby-Digital receiver. 
It is not 100% sure that your receiver will recognize a 
DTS-Audio-CD, so the first time you're trying to playback a 
DTS-Audio-CD you must do a test to determine if it can. Begin 
with the volume very low, start the disc and raise the volume 
gradually. NEVER listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the analog 
audio outputs of your CD/DVD player.

***This is not for your computer, your iPod, CD walkman or any
thing other than your home theatre setup!  If you enjoy movies 
in DTS 5.1 then you will love this!***

Burning Instructions
Burn them the absolute same way as you would burn any normal 
Audio-CD from FLAC/SHN files.

Recorded live at GM Place, Vancouver BC, Canada 15/11/2005.

Taped on Sony ECM717 condenser mic > Sony PCM-M1.

The audio is complete from start to finish and is in very good quality.

I am looking for other Depeche Mode audios from the US leg of the 2005 tour 
in the master generation quality. Any serious tapers who have taped them on 
this tour or even past tours are welcome.

I am looking forward to hearing from you,

Moto (Stockholm, Sweden)

Have a happy New Year!

Any Editors fans/tapers lurking about?

This wonderful new band is doing their first promo gigs in america,
followed by a small euro tour, then followed by a full us tour.

Interpol + Joy division fans should really have a listen:
Record streaming here for free in wm+real:
http://editorsofficial.co.uk/player_pop.php
listen to songs like: Fall, Camera, Distance, Open.

and no im not promoting or affiliated, im just THAT impressed (and im
not often impressed by new bands! this the only new band in the past
20yrs that got my attention besides Interpol!!)

I will do the NYC shows with DAT + DV, hoping some others will do the
same elsewhere and contact me.
