COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-189:
Fairly watchable, very nice setlist could be lighter and this is effecting the focus slightly so not one of the Daves best Remember even if you have some of the Daves films already that at best your copies will be 2 generations poorer than anything in the Masters series, so get em all.
These will be with original sound though many will feature as sound upgrades eventually with my two mates Yassou and Madhasse helping out.

LB NOTES FOR LB-7993:
bittorrent download 09/09; about half the tracks have a flac fingerprint that matches the shntool md5 hash of LB-2234; as indicated this has some noted flaws on that one fixed; (did not listen to all of this) drop end of d1t8, between cdrs, end of d2t4
Nice show with a few nice surprises on the setlist, one of them being the first of three 1989 performances of "Watching The River Flow". Sourced from LB-2234 - but I've done some clean-ups, I removed a pop from "Masters Of War" and "Mr. Tambourine Man", plus a small gap after "Man Of Constant Sorrow" plus some other minor gaps. Therefor different md5 signature. Very good to excellent sound.
DISC AUTHOR’S NOTE REGARDING LB-7993: Speed correction was needed using Audacity 2.0.0.
DVD PRODUCTION PROCESS: Audio and video assets edited in iMovie 6.0.3; authored, multiplexed and burned to VIDEO_TS folder in iDVD 7.1.2 (Professional Quality 2-pass variable bit rate encoding)
5 Stars: Great and setlist performance with rare technical quality for an early N.E.T. show
