The Doobie Brothers
Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall
Baltimore, MD
Nov. 12, 2002
Excellent soundboard / audience matrix (from cassette master)
A stellar recording from "The RS Arvhives"
(a Mexminute/TheCommish production)
** mp3 samples provided (as always) in the Comments section **
This Doobies torrent is dedicated to the late Fred Berry (Mar. 19, 1951 - Oct. 21, 2003)...
a/k/a Freddie "Rerun" Stubbs from "What's Happening!!".
You can see Rerun's famous "bootleg" scene with the Doobies on right here:

And who can forget the classic line from Roger "Raj" Thomas during that same episode:
"Which Doobie you be? A-haaaaaaaa!!!"

Editing notes:
* Track 102: There was a very brief (1/10 of a second) section of diginoise near the 0:36 mark; I was able to successfully patch in an identical section from about the 1:28 mark. You wouldn't even know this if I didn't point it out. In addition, removed an extremely small skip near the 0:54 mark
* Track 106: Removed small skip at 1:19 mark
* Track 201 (1:59-2:01 mark): Decreased volume -3dB since the volume of the applause was fluctuating; now plays much more smoothly
* Track 205 (5:09-5:10 mark, during "Baltimore"): Increased volume +4dB to better match volume of "Maryland" which is said immediately after it
* Track 207: Removed extremely small gap at 0:57 mark and decreased volume -2dB (2:07-2:08 mark only) to smooth out fluctuation of crowd applause
* Track 210: Deleted 2 seconds of crowd applause right before the band's final words at the conclusion of the song--this was done because the volume of the crowd applause was fluctuating (possibly due to the certain mics being turned on/off); also deleted 53 seconds of audience applause at the end of the track (after the band's final words) and applied a fade-out using Nero's wave editor
Other volume adjustments/notes:
* Track 101: Increased volume +3dB (0:00-1:17), +4dB (1:17 end)
* Tracks 102-105: Increased volume + 4dB (entire track)
* Track 106: Increased volume +7dB (0:00-0:11), +10dB (0:11-2:42), +7dB (2:42-end)
* Track 107: Increased volume +7dB (0:00-0:14), +4dB (0:14-end)
* Track 108: Increased volume +4dB (entire track)
* Track 109: Increased volume +4dB (0:00-2:26), +3dB (2:26-3:35), +1dB (3:35-end)
* Track 110: Increased volume +1dB (0:00-3:34), +4db (3:34-3:36), +7dB (3:36-end)
* No volume adjustments were made to Disc 2 (Tracks 201-210). Track 209 does play slightly louder than the other tracks but I since I didn't want to clip any of the sound, I thought it would be better to leave that track unadjusted.
