To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hakone Aphrodite I have produced a revised version of the first day of the show.
I patched the missing AHM tuning and opening announcements with FM broadcast source. Pink Floyd's tuning time is so long that Goro Itoi buys time with a talk about how Pink Floyd are perfectionists.
The audience source contained some strong wind noise, which I reduced using the De-wind function in iZotope RX 8. But I didn't remove the wind completely, as that would have the side-effect of making Roger's bass sound lost as well.
I didn't do any new tape hiss removal, but the sound quality was slightly affected because Empress Valley had already done the noise removal.
The order of the songs in Echoes and STCFTHOTS has been corrected to the original setlist order.
The second half of Echoes had a problem with cassette tapes running unstable, this has been fixed using iZotope RX 8.
The photo folder contains images from the first day of Hakone Aphrodite, including newly discovered photos. Enjoy.
