Comment
Set II incomplete

* this improvisation centres around a melody we find popping up later in MMW’s shows: On April 14/2000 they open an acoustic show with a loose working of this melody but it’s underdeveloped and never heard from again; the song first debuted in full on April 25/2007 as part of a short acoustic tour. A version of the song from that tour was later released on the 2012 live acoustic album Free Magic with the following title: Ballade In C Minor, ‘Vergessene Seelen’. The song was then subsequently played on the Fall ’12 and Spring ’13 acoustic tours in support of the album. ‘Vergessene Seelen’ translates to “Forgotten Souls”, so I labeled this improvisation ‘Vergessene Improv’ — the forgotten improv. From 3:50-6:45 of the track is kind of a lead-in to the ‘Vergessene’ melody which comes in strong at that point and is the main theme for the following 6min or so.

+ “Mystery Gus” melody first introduced just past the 9min mark and solidified @10:05 of this track, might be from a real song but the only other place I’ve identified the melody is during the band’s 4 instrumental performances of the Combustication tune ‘Whatever Happened to Gus’ in early 1999 (1/14, 1/16, 3/20 & 3/23) — see The Shack Project 1999 page for links to the shows

Set One/Disc One: 01. Improv > 20:50.49 02. Shack 12:34.74 03. We're So Happy > 13:10.65 04. FAITU 08:50.54 05. Wiggly's Way 07:33.59 Set Two/Disc Two: 01. Pakalolo 10:44.57 02. Syeeda's Song Flute > 09:01.43 03. Improv/ 14:58.17 Notes: ---------- * There is some debate as to what the correct date for this show is. The DAT I recieved for this show was labeled 5/29/94. Rumor has it that this show might be 5/24/94. * There is some clipping on this show in the first 30-40 seconds. No edits were done in these spots. * There was a split second dropout at 1:08 in the Improv track (d1t01) along with a couple millisecond spots of diginoise, all in the right channel. 0.100 seconds of audio from the left channel was cut and paste into these spots to clean these errors. * There was a 0.060 second dropout in the right channel of the Improv track (d1t01) at 1:49. 0.065 seconds of audio from the left channel was cut and paste to clean this error. * There was a 0.020 second dropout at 2:29 in the right channel of d1t01 Improv track. 0.030 seconds of audio from the left channel was cut and paste to fix this error. * There are two dropouts at 2:55 and 2:56 in the d1t01 Improv track that are in both channels. These are unfixable, but I was able to smooth them out. * There are also dropout/diginoise spots in both channels at 4:46 and 5:12 in the d1t01 Improv track that are also unfixable. * There is a 0.015 second dropout in We're So Happy that was unfixable because it is in both channels. * There was a split second spot of diginoise at 9:14 in the We're So Happy > FAITU track that was only in the right channel. 0.100 seconds of audio from the left channel was cut and paste to fix this errored spot. * There was a split second spot of diginoise at 16:24 in the Improv after Syeeda's. I patched the audio to fix the error.
