Title: "Free Ray Bourque"

Date: May 9, 2001

Recorded by: daveydave
Location: General Admission (20 feet from the tip of the heart, slightly to the left on The Edge's side)
Recording equipment: Sony MZ-R70 with Core Sound Stealth Cardioids with Low Sensitivity option

Mastered to SHN by the following method: Minidisc masters > Sony MDS - JE510 > Toslink Digital Optical Cable > Pioneer PDR-609RW > CD-R > EAC (Secure and tested) > WAV > Soundforge 5.0 > mkw 0.96f > SHN

Digital mastering and remastering/editing by: Michael Albuquerque
Remastering/editing Notes: Due to a possible short in the taper's mic cables, there were small, periodic gaps of silence at the beginning and end of each of the 3 master minidiscs (caused by moving the MD recorder before and after disc insertion). Edits were performed using Soundforge 5.0 in the following locations: (1) used fade in during intro on disc 1 to merely eliminate these gaps (as well as most of the PA song "Sgt. Pepper's", (2) used a loop-type effect near the end of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" to mask a 1 second drop out during a vocal part and faded out the audience after the end of the song, (3) used a loop-type effect again extensively for the intro of "Desire" which had most of the opening chords missing (thank God for the repetitive chord progression), (4) used another loop-type effect to mask a ~ 1 second drop out near the end of Beautiful Day, and (5) eliminated gaps in the crowd noise before the encores. Enhanced bass and treble, normalized volume levels, and manually reduced volume levels in millisecond increments as necessary to eliminate clipping (i.e., from occasional loud hand claps nearby). Used fade in and out at beginning and end of each CD.

Note: Band Introductions were not recorded due to changing of the minidiscs.
