OldNeumanntapr Notes- (2001)
This was my first show I recorded out of my home state of California. In 2001 I flew to Salt Lake City and my buddy Jack and I drove to Red Rocks to record the Allman Brothers Band. Before we left on that journey we recorded BOC in Ogden, UT. I foolishly waited to buy nine volt batteries for the preamp until right before the show and we ended up stopping at a Texaco station in Ogden. NEVER BUY batteries at a gas station!! I didn’t notice until we got to the show, but the cardboard / plastic container had been opened and one of the batteries was used. So, one channel of the preamp failed toward the end of the show so I had to ‘Y’ the good channel to mono for the last 29 minutes. No other post production has been done to this recording. There is some crowd noise but the music is clear. This was the first time that I had seen Blue Oyster Cult. I listened to them a lot in high school and always liked their music.

OldNeumanntapr Notes (2024)
I added .30 milliseconds of silence to the start of disc two in Audacity to mimic a stereo effect and minimize the ‘flat’ sounding monaural tracks.
