‘In Memory Of… Dickey Betts’

To pay tribute to Richard ‘Dickey’ Betts (12th December 1943 – 14th April 2024) I uploaded this concert from November 1st, 1988 which was held the Lone Star Roadhouse.
Because it was bbroadcast live through US FM radio (DC101), the recording is of very good quality plus it includes other artists that I appreciate: Warren Haynes who is another excellent guitarist and also Matt Abts (who later joined him as drummer in Gov't Mule). There is also Rick Derringer but to me the icing on the cake is the participation of Jack Bruce and Mick Taylor. For this show I had a full audience recording (source #1) and a partial soundboard recording (source #2). Thanks to one of my accomplices (nzb) I discovered the ‘pre-fm’ version of the show (source #3).
I found out that 9 titles had been officially published as limited edition two-LP-release to tie in with Record Store Day 2018: 'Live At The Lone Star Roadhouse' (Rock Beat Records ROC-3420).
Therefore, I decided to make a merging of sources #2 and #3 which are different from the officially published recording. And I tried to rebuild the complete show.

Details of my DIYs:
The tracks are declicked, channel equilibrated (from +20% for the left channel to +20 % for the right). I deleted microgaps between the tracks and reworked the transitions between them so that now they start with the song (except when they were faded in/out).
Which are before and after ‘Lover Man’, before and after ‘Jessica’ and before 'Spoonful'.
On the merges, the partial version (source #2) is on the right channel and was synced using the 'pre-fm'-version (source #3) on the left channel as a reference.
