Total time: (72:22)

Recorded March 4, 1994 at Manchester Apollo except tracks 9 and 10 on CD2, as noted

Notes: The back cover says “SMOKE IV / V”. However “Smoke III” is written on CD-1 and “Smoke IV” is written on CD-2.
Review from Brian Murphy: The sound quality is excellent (I think it must be from the mixing board). The set list is much the same as A Night in San Francisco, but without Junior Wells, Jimmy Witherspoon or Candy Dulfer.
Even though the set list is similar, some of the versions are quite different.

Notes from Patrick Lazzarotto: This is definitely an audience recording as evidenced by the presence of a good amount of hall boom and some close audience noise (but mostly between numbers). Not real good stereo separation.However, it is a good audience recording which sounds great with a little effort on the equalizer.

Van Morrison – The Bedroom Tape

I posted a somewhat different bootleg also entitled The Bedroom Tapes here.

Hello Mat,

I received a bad copy of The Bedroom Tape from a fellow collector sometime during late 80’s.
The tape was hard to listen and it was running fast. The tape had 11 tracks, including two versions
of TB Sheets, a short and a long version. The short version was in better quality but it was cut at
the end of side A of the 90 min tape and the long version was first track on side B. The beginning of the
second version was worn out and I decided to make a composite using two connected cassette decks.
Please remember analog copies was all we could do at the time.

The tape composite was a success, but at the same time I realised that there was a change in the
sound as the first deck I used was running slow or the recording machine was running fast. Anyway
the sound was getting better every time I copied the tape, surely there was more hiss, but also you
could slowly hear how the Man was singing. I realised that two of the songs on the tape were
demo-recordings by Them and I had a reference copy of those tracks on vinyl.
So I just kept making copy after copy until the sound of these familiar tracks was accurate. I then
mailed the slowed down tape copy back to my friend David Chance, aka “dcat”. He then seeded the tape
and every digital copy I’ve heard since is from that master with lots of hiss and with the composite
of TB Sheets.

When I learned how to do digital transfer, I started this project again by searching the original
cassette from my attic and edited the tape again with Goldwave. I reworked the composite TB Sheets
with better result and eliminated some of the hiss in the origial x gen tape.
