ARTWORK

SOURCE / LINEAGE

Stereo AUD master to Maxell XL II tape

Borrowed mic > Borrowed Sony WM-D6C > Master tape > Computer WAV > Cool Edit Pro 2000 > TLH v2.4.1 > FLAC 8 > DIME > you
I don't have the specific model for the mics, but the buddy from which I borrowed the gear (thanks K!) said they cost approx. US$500.
Mics were physically separate left / right channel lines which fed back to a single stereo line into the deck.
The left / right lines were either pinned over each shoulder facing stage, or pinned to left/right sides under an open-holed baseball cap.

I originally mastered this 2009-06-15.
The tape already had a fade-in at start / fade-out at the very end, and I added fades to cover tape flip/swap gaps.
Beyond that, the only thing I did on the computer was place track marks before each piece.
This FLAC fileset comes directly from those final WAVs's, which only needed SBE corrections in TLH; no CD-Rs or EACs.

NOTES

As this is an original master & isn't too bad to start with, please DON'T remaster and repost it.

I think I may have been on my own for this show, and I don't remember where I was in the venue doing the taping.
I found good levels & stuck with 'em through to the end; the only problem was some distortion in "Can't Win" as that was louder than the rest of the show.
There's a bit of hiss, and a bit of bleed-thru on Tape Side 2's super-quiet parts (from sitting too long?).
Apart from that, it's a fine sounding tape & one of the better ones I've come away with; check out the sample.

This was definitely never traded, so only I've heard it to date.
Crank it up and ENJOY! it as I have, and share it so others can hear it.

There's a tape flip after Sugar Bee, in sync with the fade-out at the end of Disc One.
There's another interrupt to insert a new tape after Gypsy Love Songs; again faded out.
And apparently I did pause a bit during the claps before the encore.
All that's missing is a bit of clapping - nothing musically or any between-song RT talking.

Speaking of...  I clap.  Sorry.  At least there's no talking from me.
And I leave everything in, warts and all - tuning, the band talking between songs, some of the claps before the encores & at the end.
