All four re-split from fresh hand-edit exports and re-verified against R2. https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-19-broadway-1999-06-21/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-18-jerry-19-broadway-1999-06-21 Sat, 18 Jul 2026 17:16:26 +0000 Re-normalized all 21 tracks: the show's original v1 processing had silently hit exactly −20 LUFS and exactly −1 dBTP on several tracks — the same dynamic-mode fallback bug found in other pre-v4 shows — when tracks like "I Need a Lover" and "You're Pulling Me Leg / The Ted Kennedy Song" in fact needed a target as low as −24.7 LUFS to stay linear. Re-split from a fresh hand-edit pass using the current engine. https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-19-broadway-2001-01-08/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-17-jerry-19-broadway-2001-01-08 Fri, 17 Jul 2026 18:04:20 +0000 Re-normalized all 30 tracks: the show's original v1 processing used ffmpeg's naive loudnorm, which had silently hit exactly −20 LUFS and exactly −1 dBTP on nearly every track — the signature of the same dynamic-mode fallback bug that flattened Sean Hannan's 1999-11-29 show, since several of these tracks in fact needed a target as low as −28 LUFS to stay linear. Tracks where audience applause — not the music — set the ceiling (Anna May, Luxury of Murder) now get linear gain sized to the music itself, with only the applause gently limited. Also re-split from a corrected label export that fixed a garbled track title and stripped stray junk labels. https://renedebos.com/shows/sean-19-broadway-1999-11-29/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-17-sean-19-broadway-1999-11-29 Fri, 17 Jul 2026 01:00:00 +0000 Re-normalized all 21 tracks: a bug in the loudness pipeline had silently switched several tracks into dynamic (compressor-like) processing instead of true linear gain, flattening hand-drawn fades and room dynamics. Tracks where audience applause — not the music — was the loudest thing on the tape now get linear gain sized to the music itself, with only the applause gently limited. Track 7, "The Rodeo Song," has some audible clipping baked into the source recording — normalization can't undo that, so it's flagged rather than papered over — using the automated audio engineering workflow with ffmpeg https://renedebos.com/shows/sean-19-broadway-2000-01-24/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-16-sean-19-broadway-2000-01-24 Thu, 16 Jul 2026 22:35:00 +0000 Re-normalized all 31 tracks to −20 LUFS on the current audio engineering workflow, replacing an older processing pass, using the automated audio engineering workflow with ffmpeg https://renedebos.com/shows/sean-19-broadway-2000-02-21/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-16-sean-19-broadway-2000-02-21 Thu, 16 Jul 2026 22:30:00 +0000 Re-normalized all 11 tracks to −20 LUFS on the current audio engineering workflow, replacing an older processing pass; also corrected track 5's title to "Ode to Biddy McGee," using the automated audio engineering workflow with ffmpeg https://renedebos.com/shows/mad-marin-brewing-co-1999-04-01/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-15-mad-marin-brewing-co-1999-04-01 Wed, 15 Jul 2026 14:12:52 +0000 Added the Mad Hannans' return to Marin Brewing Co. in Larkspur, April 1, 1999 — the venue's 10th anniversary, one year to the day after their first show there — as 15 individual tracks normalized to −20 LUFS. "Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)" now opens with its "The Kiss" intro, missing from the 1998 show. Two audience transfers of the tape survive; the tracks come from the cleaner one, with the other kept as an alternate full-show download. https://renedebos.com/shows/mad-marin-brewing-co-1998-04-01/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-15-mad-marin-brewing-co-1998-04-01 Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:51:28 +0000 Added the earliest Mad Hannans show in the archive, April 1, 1998 at Marin Brewing Co. in Larkspur, as 17 individual tracks normalized to −20 LUFS. It's a rough audience recording left without EQ or noise reduction, and "Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)" still lacks the "The Kiss" intro it later picked up. Includes a Steve Miller cover, "Space Cowboy." https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-19-broadway-1999-08-23/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-14-jerry-19-broadway-1999-08-23 Tue, 14 Jul 2026 23:05:00 +0000 Recovered 7 more songs from the rougher of the two August 23, 1999 19 Broadway reels and added them to the show page as a separate "Part 1 (Distorted)" batch — rough listening in places, but archived rather than lost. Includes an alternate "ABC," another early "Rugburns," and three songs new to the archive: "Troy," "The Kiss," and "Da Da Da (Slave to an Angel)." https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-19-broadway-1999-08-23/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-14-jerry-19-broadway-1999-08-23 Tue, 14 Jul 2026 21:49:28 +0000 Added the August 23, 1999 solo show at 19 Broadway as 14 individual tracks, normalized to −20 LUFS. The two source reels are mislabeled, so this main set comes from the cleaner of the two. Includes an early version of "Rugburns" and a Steve Poltz cover, "Single Life." https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-19-broadway-1999-06-07/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-14-jerry-19-broadway-1999-06-07 Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:12:33 +0000 Added the June 7, 1999 solo show at 19 Broadway as 29 individual tracks, treated with broadband noise reduction (10dB on the first three tracks, 6dB after, sensitivity 5) across the whole tape before splitting, then normalized to −20 LUFS. Includes the Irish traditional "A Bunch of Thyme" and a birthday singalong for an audience member named Marco. https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-19-broadway-1999-10-25/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-14-jerry-19-broadway-1999-10-25 Tue, 14 Jul 2026 16:33:14 +0000 Added the October 25, 1999 solo show at 19 Broadway as 26 individual tracks, treated with broadband noise reduction (6dB, sensitivity 5) across the whole tape before splitting, then normalized to −20 LUFS. Kelly Peterson guests on "Angel of Montgomery" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling." https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-19-broadway-1999-11-15/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-14-jerry-19-broadway-1999-11-15 Tue, 14 Jul 2026 12:10:15 +0000 Added the November 15, 1999 solo show at 19 Broadway as 14 individual tracks, normalized to −20 LUFS, including an early version of "Burning Man" and an alternate-verse take of "Hollywood." https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-cafe-java-1999-06-17/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-13-jerry-cafe-java-1999-06-17 Mon, 13 Jul 2026 22:45:00 +0000 Added the full show as 27 individual tracks, split from the audience DAT and normalized to −20 LUFS for an even, comfortable listening level, using the automated audio engineering workflow with ffmpeg https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-cafe-java-1999-05-27/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-13-jerry-cafe-java-1999-05-27 Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:35:00 +0000 Added the full show as 20 individual tracks, split from the audience DAT and normalized to −20 LUFS for an even, comfortable listening level, using the automated audio engineering workflow with ffmpeg https://renedebos.com/shows/mad-sweetwater-1999-05-18/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-13-mad-sweetwater-1999-05-18 Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:10:00 +0000 Re-normalized all 22 tracks: a bug in the loudness pipeline had silently switched several tracks into dynamic (compressor-like) processing instead of true linear gain, flattening hand-drawn fades and room dynamics. Tracks where audience applause — not the music — was the loudest thing on the tape now get linear gain sized to the music itself, with only the applause gently limited, using the automated audio engineering workflow with ffmpeg https://renedebos.com/shows/jerry-cafe-java-1999-04-29/ https://renedebos.com/updates/#2026-07-13-jerry-cafe-java-1999-04-29 Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:05:00 +0000 Re-normalized all 21 tracks: a bug in the loudness pipeline had silently switched several tracks into dynamic (compressor-like) processing instead of true linear gain, flattening hand-drawn fades and room dynamics.
