Kenny Garrett (alto sax, flute)
Robert Irving III (synthesizer)
Adam Holzman (synthesizer)
Joe “Foley” McCreary (electric guitar)
Darryl Jones (electric bass)
Ricky Wellman (drums)

01 band warming up (1:10)

03 Speak (7:18)
04 Human Nature (7:23)
05 Wrinkle (6:35)
06 The Senate / Me & U (10:05)
07 Tutu (8:28)
08 Splatch (5:38)
09 Time After Time (7:40) [fade out on closing with voiceover last 5.5s]

Editing (plaz):

  • corrected DC offsets
  • gain normalized and retracked
  • balanced track 1
  • repaired gain fluctuations, clicks, pops, and static bursts
  • increased gain of track 8 by 1.35 dB and track 9 by 1.65 dB
  • restored subtle analog peak clipping (compression/limiting) to clarify cymbals, tympani and muted trumpet
  • lightly declclicked and decrackled

Notes:

  • excellent FM capture
  • interesting mix, very different from the TV audio (a) version, and no interruptions
  • perhaps one or both of the channels are inverted

Miles Davis – Pittsburgh, PA (08/29/86)

06 Wrinkle
07 Tutu

CD 2:
01 Splatch
02 Time After Time

04 Carnival Time
05 Don’t Lose Your Mind
06 Burn

This is my favorite post-retirement line up which I’m sure is because Robben Ford is on guitar. I don’t think I have seen this posted in at least a few years so I thought I would upload it. BTW- I’m looking for an upgrade to my copy of the New Orleans 86′ SBD if anybody can help me. Thanks in advance.

enjoy

Note:
Both Lohmann and Losin give this as an “audience recording,” but that is clearly not the case. A frequency analysis suggests a soundboard source and not an FM broadcast. This has been issued as a bootleg titled “Social Music,” however it is unclear whether this particular set, received on DAT, came from that bootleg release.
