Seeder's Notes: after the first broadcast of the day (Alanis) I was hopping the audio to be improved, fortunatelly it was. The second was to not have commercials stealing us the show, but unfortunatelly this did not happen.

First commercial -in Mr. Soul- is very short with the show still in a little window but with the audio changing to the commercial. Previously I´ve decided not to put in this DVD any incomplete song but I changed my mind inmediately after see this "Hurricane Man" over the stage, so I maintain it as it´s. Second commercial is after Cinnamon Girl, the broadcast come back with an amazing Love And Only Love already started, I don´t know what we have missed in this long commercial cut, sorry. Third commercial cut -a big one- after Out of the Blue. Fourth cut after Heart of Gold. Some image problems in the Beatles encore song (2 consecutive image freezing of about 1 second each to be precise).

Truly amazing show anyway, even with the commercial cuts and with the speakers voice between songs. Very different set list than the recent audio uploads from the italian gigs. Hope you will enjoy it as I did and that sooner or latter we will have here at DIME a complete show recorded from other source.


Reauthoring notes:

DVD files (from Dime)>TMPGenc (create single MPEG file)>Goldwave (extract audio)>WAV>CoolEdit (insert 0.1s of silence at start - to delay audio, also normalise volume)>TMPGenc (reauthor, minor edits, new menu)

* the audio is now LPCM (so no re-encoding) which makes for a bigger file size (now 4.22GB) - but it still fits on a single DVD disc.
* I normalised the volume so the audio is now at a higher level than before.
* I removed the short commercial mentioned above (which is in "I've Been Waiting For You" not "Mister Soul") - the fact that you could still see Neil, in a small window, while the commercial was running did not compensate, imho for the interruption due to the commercial, so what we have now is a simple cut in the song. Approx 31s missing.
* I also removed a few seconds of commentator chatter at the very start and before the encore (track 13).
* track 2 is "I've Been Waiting For You" and track 5 is "Hey Hey My My (Into The Black)" - this has been corrected on the new menu and artwork.
* this DVD now has motion menus
