| Description | Grateful Dead
February 21, 1971
Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY
SBD -> Dobly A Reel -> Dolby A decode -> DAT -> Sound Forge NR -> CD-R
The Sound Forge noise reduction was used to attenuate a very narrow
frequency band (in the vicinity of 8000 Hz) which was present as
interference on the original reels. See my notes below for details.
Disc 1
Set 1
1. Cold Rain And Snow (7:24)
2. Me And Bobby McGee (8:18)
3. Loser (7:37)
4. Easy Wind (9:21)
5. Playing In The Band (5:46)
6. Bertha (6:17)
7. Me And My Uncle (4:57)
8. Ripple (take 1) (1:31)
9. Ripple (7:53)
10. Next Time You See Me (5:41)
11. Sugar Magnolia (7:33)
Disc 2
1. Greatest Story Ever Told > (4:43)
2. Johnny B. Goode
Set 2
3. China Cat Sunflower (11:36)
4. Bird Song (6:44)
5. Cumberland Blues (5:48)
6. King Bee (9:12)
7. Beat It On Down The Line (4:53)
8. Wharf Rat (11:02)
Disc 3
1. Truckin' (8:42)
2. Casey Jones (6:33)
3. Good Lovin' (16:55)
4. Uncle John's Band (7:36)
The original reels of the Port Chester run of '71 were audibly
tainted due to a cable problem. The result is a tone which hovers
around 8000 Hz with an amplitude of about +20 dB above the noise
floor. This translate to a very annoying pitch, especially during quiet
sections, which is in the old-tv-tube or lousy-hard-disk or maybe even
the-sound-you-hear-after-you-slam-your-head-against-a-concrete-wall
class of 'whine'. Because this interference is 'monochromatic' it's
easy to get rid of if you have the processing power and a quick
FFT algorithm. I used the filter-shaping capabilities of the Sonic
Foundry Noise Reduction Plugin to tailor a very narrow notch filter
which attenuated the interference without affecting the rest of the
signal. And it's all done in the digital domain. Huzzah!
As a side note, I actually ended up crafting many filters to process
these shows. The frequency of the interference actually drifted anywhere
from 7700 to 8100 Hz during a given show. This was probalby due to a
slightly wandering reel speed. It made my work harder but when I tried
a much wider filter I started to be able to hear the attenuation in the
music. The filters generally go like this:
25 dB /- - - - - - - -\
/ \
/ \
0 dB | |
7830 7900 7970
The end result is no more annoying whine!
I also removed some of the nasty mic feedback in the 2/18/71 Bertha
using this type of filter.

Update (3/19/09): This is a re-seed. I have re-encoded the files
using FLAC, and added tags. For some more discussion about the notch
filtering, please see http://orf5.com/badnr.html |

The sample that I posted is not a remaster of any circulating source. It is a direct transfer of the vault master reels, not the betty reels which have the hum. The vault reels are clean and have no hum. I find it interesting that some folks would like the filtered circulating source over the pure clean vault reels.

Charlie:
Dude, this can't be so hard for you to understand. For those of us who actually want to listen to the music rather than dream about existing copies which cannot listen to, we'll take what we can get. Get it? For you to flaunt 2 minute segments from the vault accomplishes nothing than telling the community that you have access to something they don't have, and to make the ludicrous suggestion that we are idiots for listening to a flawed copy than wait for you to grace us with your superior copy whenever that may (or may not) happen.
It was only about 2 minutes after I reseeded this show (at the request of some soul who emailed me about not being able to find any copy of the show on bt) that you had to announce how flawed the show was. What is your deal? I mean, aren't you the guy behind the live Kimock shows which are given away for free in lossless form? Would you prefer those not ever be released? I just don't get where you are coming from. |

Um, well, let's see. I wasn't flaunting anything, nor teasing. When I'm done with the recording, it'll get out. Just like the other thousands of shows I've worked on.
Get it? |

I'm not a big fan of noise reduction. That is what my comments were based on. There are better ways to fix the issue that the recording had.
I appreciate your effort. |

| My comments were really not meant to sound as rude as they sounded. |
