E: Brokedown Palace sound is generally a bit muddy, some hiss Pigpen's voice is almost inaudible at times and sometimes distortion & pops from Keith's piano pick-up, the best & most complete version currently in circulation a lot of minor anomalies (mainly clicks) throughout discs 1 + 2 d3t03: tape warble @18:47-18:52, sounds like a master cassette flaw d1t06: very beginning is missing (a few seconds worth) Bill Giles remastering notes: "What do you do with an excellent concert that circulates digitally on muddy CD only and for which cassette copies, while superficially brighter, carry a lot of noise and distortion? Frustrating. I suspect the CD's lack of edge is the result of an uninspired noise reduction job [which makes the MC>D>CD lineage questionable]. I've simply tried to brighten itup by re-equalisation. I've also rebalanced the tracks (the right track was relatively overweight) and attenuated a few glitches. It ain't great, but it's definitely better. From the master disc, the opening notes of Big Boss Man are missing, and the start of Good Lovin' is an AUD patch; and there are some crackles, particularly in Brown-Eyed Women and Truckin', and a number of drop-outs and wobbles throughout the concert. I would not describe it as 'remastered' - just 'tidied up'. I guess linage should read: MR>??>CDR>Sound Forge 4.5>CDR"
