Technical Notes on the Boston Lamb.

Here's some notes on what I've done to obtain the final 
result on the Boston Lamb: first, the gaps, there where two gaps that 
had to be fixed.
Flying in some material from Providence: an 11" gap at the beginning 
of Carpet Crawlers patched with a 25" sonically matched and 
overlapped portion, and a 15" gap in the ambient part of Here Comes 
The Supernatural Anaesthetist starting after 3'45" from the beginning 
of the song (it's the point where everyone in the audience seems to 
want to whistle) patched with 57" from The Providence recording again 
sonically matched, overlapped and crossfaded.(there actually was a 
third gap on the crowd before the encore but that never gave problems 
at all).
The major problem with this Boston recording regarded the fact that 
it was brutally mono; so, apart from the usual de-noising, 
equalizing, pumping, brightening, limiting and ambient 
reconstruction, I faced the decision to reconstruct a believable 
stereo image which I achieved with the aid of Waves' PS22 plug-in, 
the best software to obtain a believable stereo image from a mono 
source (I hope that this doesn't spoil you the enjoiment of these 2 
cds, but is in line with my philosophy of not being concerned about 
what it sounded like back then, but being more concerned about what 
it should sound like now).
