Taper comment: Notes from the Re-Master: "This concert came from three sources. We were told that it was broadcast in England over
two different nights. Only "Market Square Heroes" and "Margaret" are missing from the broadcast.
These two songs were included from an audience source recording we obtained. The first nights
broadcast included the first two thirds of the show. The second broadcast included the last two
thirds. Clearly there was overlap. The best of both sources was used to reconstruct that part of
the show but the radio announcements from the first show were left in. During this commentary
the announcer makes reference to the 46 minute broadcast which only applies to the first night�s
broadcast, not the full length of the performance. At the beginning of Grendel, some
music-sounding noise is heard during the first minute of the slow guitar introduction. We
believe this was actually at the concert because the audience seems to react favorably when it
stops. The audience recording of the two missing songs was patched into the proper chronological
location.
The baseline quality of all three recordings was quite good. However one source had a
prominent hum throughout. This required a frequency specific inversion and subtraction technique
to eliminate. Once removed, the rest of that recording was full spectrum with audible music
signal up to 14,000 Hz. A small amount of noise reduction was needed for the second half of the
show. Radio transmission interference disrupted the music only briefly and only a couple of
times. Pops and clicks were minimal and tonality required no alteration in the radio broadcast
section. The audience recording section did need hiss reduction and tonality adjustment to match
the radio broadcast sections as well as possible."
