cut before It Ain’t Me, Babe

Sennheiser MKE 2002 -> cassette master -> DAT – clone ->(digital transfer) m-audio delta audiophile 2496
-> Wavelab -> ssrc -> Wavelab, levels raised -> cdwave, tracking -> tlh

I did not harm the sound of the recording in any way

LB-1417

very good sound
drops between tracks

Source 3:

LB-2151

(52min+35min), version “a”; very good sound [B]; seems to be same recording as previous with channels swapped and inverted and levels different; this one has a slight hiss not present on previous version noticable in quiet songs; the previous one is also a little warmer and not as harsh so probably better

Source 4:

LB-9806, (46min+41min), version “c”; more description on torrent: “PL cass master>dat>cd clone>upload; Crown mics and Sony d6”

bittorrent download 12/11; same recording as LB-1417 and LB-2151 based on same clapping wavs at end of d1t4; this has channels of LB-2151; LB-1417 is warmest, then LB-2151, and then this; LB-2151 has most hiss, then this , then LB-1417; different recording than LB-7039 based on different crowd at end of d1t4 ; this is a little warmer and fuller than that; (did not listen to all of this)

  1. Glad he started playing “I believe in You” again here in ’89 again.
    1989 was actually my first BD show in Pgh, PA… never have seen it anywhere yet.
    I kind of thought it was somewhat a bit sloppy… but these ’89 shows sound good.
    Late bloomer w/ Bob live gigs, but have made up for it in a big way since then..
    Just sick of the many years I missed, Saw almost everyone since ’72 .. I have know idea
    what the hay was wrong with me (?) Oh well, somewhere around 50-55 now.
    Thanks Mat.

    1. Your welcome. I know what you mean. There are so many artists that I had chances to see that I put off for one reason or another only to finally catch them and kicking myself for not catching them earlier.

  2. I know you love the Dead and Van, like Bob… me too.
    My first Dead gig was at Watkins Glen Summer Jam in 1973…
    Just a kid of 18.. never saw so many people in my life. Memorable.

  3. Mat,
    Do you happen to have a PayPal act… I’ve wanted to send something to you.
    You are at the top of a long roio list, first thing in the morning…

    1. I do technically have a PayPal account. I think my wife used it once to buy something. But I have no idea how to use the thing.

      I appreciate the offer, but really just enjoy the music. Pass it on to others who will enjoy it.

    1. Sure, I think that would be a fine idea Mat.
      I’ve shared your fine site with all who I know would be interested.
      I bet you would get a good response from many.
