This is a widened version of a well recorded concert, through the soundboard, that has been on Dime previously, and I found through an online blog.

The sound is excellent, and Rock and Roll in particular is very funky!

Hello Happy Lounatics !
This is a show i don't see many times in circulation.So here we go. In fact it's the tracks 2 to 11 from the second disc of Rock'n'Roll Mammal. The show is dated 1975-07-28 on the back cover but i believe it's a mistake, the correct date is 1975-07-17 Festival Hall Adelaide, Australia.
This is a B++ sound show, with an unsual version of "Kicks" and a very fine version of "Too Late Mama" though it exist some hiss, it's a very listenable show. I made research and i'm not sure the show was uploaded once on the Dime.
Especially for kingmike.
Enjoy and share.

Work also included reducing the treble on the left channel during Leave Me Alone to mask scratchy interference, and re-shifting the balance from the middle of Too Late Mama onwards. As the balance wonders during the latter song, exact correction was not possible, however I feel this is an improvement. I used Click Repair on Rock and Roll as there were several minor clicks.

I also carried out processing in Audacity to widen the sound, this re-work usually consists of the following:-

-9db decrease (as the mixing and combining needs space)
double up the tracks, add .01 sec delay to one of the channels, split channels and mix either side (balance achieved through trial and error)
Combine above doubled up track with untouched track with the latter at a higher level. The above mixing while giving a nice widening effect I am more than aware can sometimes sound artificial to some, and I have found combining it with the untouched file means a balance is achieved between the raw sound of the original and the mixed version. Studios used - and I'm sure still do - used to resort to all sorts of double tracking and compression effects and the bottom line is this method I found by trial and error sounds good to me and others. Those who do not approve or find it does not sound good to them - no-one is forcing you to download this.
Voila...I listen to live recordings in headphones for the most part, and many people listen in headphones / earphones these days.
This may sound better to many like that, and I am aware that through conventional speakers this sort of mix / re-work may or may not sound as good as an untouched version. It's very subjective, and very much down to individual preference.
