Comments:
This boot was remastered by Darren Glen. Here are his comments:
This show was transferred from a low generation TDK Metal tape...and is
the result of over two weeks of restoring/remastering. It is a far lower
generation than the currently circulating version of this date. This show
is a very good recording but suffered from the usual problems associated
with many audience recordings...namely tape hiss, level inconsistencies
and swaying or "panning" of the image from center. There is a skip in the
middle of "All I Want is You" and "Running to Stand Still" has lost a few
seconds from its start, both on the original master and probably due to a
tape flip/change. Also various different parts of the original tape seemed
to suffer from sound inconsistencies...ie some tracks sounded better than
others. Firstly the hiss was fixed without any side effects by Sonic Solutions.
Next it was given an overall EQ and De-essed. Individual tracks were then fixed
for sound and level changes/differences , and the shows image was re-centered
track-by track. The encore of this show seems to be from a different source
recording as it was in MONO and sounded quite different. This portion was
processed with the TC Electronics Stereo Spacialiser. This unit is the best
of its kind for adding stereo realism to mono recordings as it does not just
invert channel phases like most cheap processors which causes problems with mono
compatibility. It re-creates a far more detailed image...(it is used on artists
vocals such as Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston to enhance their sound.) Then
this part of the show was re-balanced frequency wise to match the sound and
acoustics of the rest of the show. Finally the show was maximized and dithered
before its digital transfer to CDR.
