Colorado Springs, CO (06-Jun-99)

NB: Why yet another edition of this show? Easy answer. Previous editions (D1071.m and D1071.msu) were sourced from a Hi8 tape that was sourced from the master mini-dv tapes that were used for this project. If you have D1071.msu, you may wish to pass on this one. However, there are some other improvements noted below that you may wish to consider.

AUDIO: 12 (very good but a bit echoey; missing part of intro. to Dylan set; original editor cut out applause before encore, before a couple of songs, and at end necessitating use of video soundtrack)

version "a", Stereo audience recording. Most likely same source as LB-6224, though levels are quite lower on this one. I had this version (no info file accompanying it), which should have been complete (3cd), but for some reason d1 was mislabeled as 'colorado springs 1999-06-06 - 3', though included Chicago 1999-10-26 late show instead. Other folders were mixedup too, settled in the wrong order (original setlist attached). I took Paul Simon's missing portion from the same fileset torrented with LB-6224, deamplifying it conveniently as to match the levels on this previous version I had long ago. Removed some gaps, cleaned it up briefly, reordered the whole set and rearranged a few trackmarks as they were noticeably misplaced. The rest was left as it was. Log files of the original extraction from audio Cd-R's are also included (except for the mentioned d1 'carolina springs 1999-06-06 - 3', obviously), Taper: Unknown, Lineage: Cd-R(x) > eac(secure mode) > flac on data DVD (flac 1.1.1) > wav (flac 1.2.1b) > wav (adobe audition 1.5) > flac (flac 1.2.1b w/flac frontend - align on SB option - level 8 - verify on), Enjoy!, Luisbp51 (Hungercity October 9, 2011)

bittorrent download 10/11; same recording as LB-6224 based on same clapping wavs at end of d2t5 with similar wav and spectral view except that has much higher levels so clips a lot and is compressed and limited and has more digital flaws; the sound is suppressed; very good to excellent sound [B+]
drop/cut beginning of d3t7, d3t8
