Notes:
(DAT conversion to CD by Aoxoa =====> THANKS!)
(Extraction and initial .shn encoding by R. Keshavan)
(Subsequent editing and.shn encoding by Seth Kaplan)
(Properly aligned sector boundaries verified via .shntool)

Known flaws:
Light static of unknown origin on the last thirty seconds of
Dark Star (22:52.611-23:22.480) > the first twenty five seconds
of St. Stephen(0:00.000-0:25.467)

Splice in Lovelight cuts at 0:17.815 on the master. A 0:01.355
silent gap after the splice was removed as well as a 0:00.300
segment prior to the splice in order to create a better flow from
the splice > the section in which the selection continues. The start
of Lovelight through to the splice was normalised +7.5db to better
match the flow of the selection up to the splice with the segment
in which the selection continues.

The Lovelight cut is on ALL known sources. One possible suggested
explanation for this is the possibility of a temporary power outage
common to the areas where the various taping equipment setups were
located. Sounds like a logical explanation for a bizarre happening!
Anyway, it seems to have been only a couple of minutes (if anything)
that were effected here.

Various segments of tunings and onstage banter prior to the Bill Graham
intros and the Hey Jude encore have been cut from the multi-track source.
These were subsequently spliced in from the alternate sources noted below.

The following alternate sources were used in editing the multi-track source:

1. SBD > Cassette Master > C > DAT > ZA2 > WAVs >SHN > CDR > DAT > WAV
2. SBD > 2-Track MSR > D > D > D > D > CD
3. SBD > 16-Track MSR > C2 > DAT > CD

Alternate source info for spliced portions:
0:59.372 seconds of pre-Bill Graham Set One intro tuning: 2-Track MSR > D > D >
D > D > CD
0:31.200 seconds of pre-Bill Graham Set Two intro tuning: 2-Track MSR > D > D >
D > D > CD
2:26.538 seconds of pre-encore stage banter: 2-Track MSR > D > D > D > D > CD
3:32.318 seconds of pre-encore stage banter: Cassette Master > C > DAT > ZA2 >
WAVs >SHN > CDR > DAT > WAV

The majority of the show was re-tracked after completing the above edits.
