Info remaster:

When I first received these discs and played them, I had to go
outside to see if a thunderstorm was blowing in.  No, it was a
clear night.  The "thunder" I was hearing was distortion on
disc 1  (t8 Tangled Up In Blue).

One thing led to another.  As I cleaned up the skips on the 
discs, I noticed that most of the wavs were clipped across the
bottom but not the top.  Hmmm... yup sure enough, a D.C. Offset
problem.  So I ran the files through EAC to correct this.  Sure
enough some of the "thunder" vanished, and I began to have a
bit of hope about salvaging something listenable from the set.

Now an offset DC voltage to the mics will often produce a bass
heavy recording and this is what we had.  So I felt free to 
remove bass and play with the equalizer as needed.  The result 
is on the discs - a salvage job - and quite listenable at least
to my ears.

I'll Be Your Baby Tonight and Tangled Up In Blue don't have as
full a sound as the others, though each is ok by itself.

Friend Of The Devil picked up some very slight emphasis on
the harp solo.

For most of disc 2 the problems were not so severe and the 
tracks received only the slightest tinkering if any.  They will
peg yer meters.

Throughout, I have made no attempt to remove *all* of the problems
with the audio at this show.  It doesen't seem likely that most
were the result of a DC offset.  From time to time it is probable
that a mic or pickup was acting up, and traces of the "thunder"
occasionally intrude.

This is only the second time i've attempted to rework a whole show.
Comments are welcome.
