Notes:
I can't confirm this lineage 100%, but that is how my dat was labled and that is how Rob Eaton has it listed, so I can only assume it's correct. I have also seen it listed as SBD>VHS>Cass>Dat>CD. This version sounds better and is more complete than the etree version.

redbook 16/44.1>CDWav beta1.6 (tracking only)>SHNv3 (MKW ACT)
Correct sector boundaries verified using shntool
Note:
Although, the mics used to record this show are unidentified
it only will take you 5 seconds to realize the deck was patched into
a veteran FOB taper with good equipment and a great buffer
zone in front of the mics. This is an awesome "you are there" FOB.
A HUGE special thanks to Painoman for lending me his Master Cassettes,
Which took me a friggin year to digitize. Painoman you have the
patience of a saint.

Matrix by Hunter Seamons using Final Cut Pro (SHN & FLAC>AIFF>Final Cut>Soundtrack>WAV>FLAC)
July 6, 2008
Notes:
1) There is occasional, minor static in the SBD.
2) Soundtrack Pro was used to reduce/remove static in Rooster, Supplication Jam, Spoonful, and Black Peter. (The static in Drums>Space seems to be instrument related.)
3) While any of the above AUDs could have made a good, interesting matrix, the Force ushered me to choose Oade, and incorporate the other two for the patches, when available.
4) There is a cut in the Oade Aud during Lovelight (3:23-end of track) Tuning (3) (entire track) and Baby Blue (4:39 to end). Painoman's AUD patches the Lovelight track up to 8:22, and Surac's AUD patches Baby Blue.
5) There are cuts in the SBD during Supplication Jam (0:17-0:29) and Space (3:39-4:39).
6) Some echo effects that the band was using during this time for vocals and instruments can sound like "slippage," but I can confirm that they are not such moments.
7) The show is seamless.
