Comments:

This is a great sounding recording of the Denver 2001 Elevation show that was recorded from a stage-side seat by a friend of Scott Z using Scott's taping rig. The master DAT was recorded at 32kHz, so I don't believe the high end on this sparkles quite as nicely as a rig of this type is actually capable of. However, there is no annoying crowd noise, the mix is great, and the PA was right overhead, so this is really a nice, clean sounding show.

Here is the mastering that I performed at 32bit upon receiving the master DAT from Scott Z.:

- Performed a software sample rate conversion from 32kHz to 44.1kHz at the highest quality setting (999) using the pre/post filter to give the best possible conversion accuracy. Sample conversion processing time was approximately 7 hours.
- Added Fade In/Out on each disc.
- No EQ adjustment, noise reduction or level changes were performed on this recording. All of these were already just about perfect on the master DAT.

No cover available for this show.
