This was the final show on a UK tour where Dire Straits opened for TH.
According to an eye-witness, there was a final encore of “Gloria” with
the members of Dire Straits, too bad it’s not on the tape!

The final three tracks on this file-set are missing from the recent 24bit
transfer (Oct 2012), and are patched-in from an earlier 16bit transfer.
An MP3 version of the same tape includes 0:40 of Love > Building, and
another 0:54 of crowd noise at the end. Previous transfers of this tape
also contain fragmentary versions of three songs (Love > Building, Uh Oh
Love, & TYFSMAA) that appear to come from a different show of this tour.

THANKS to Hans for sharing this great historical recording…enjoy!

Stereo Soundboard Recording > 1/4″ – 2 Track Reel Tape > Cassete Tape > .WAV > ProTools

Welcome to the NON-Uber Series release of a great classic concert from the Bruce Springsteen Band. This is Volume 1 of what I hope will be many more to come.

In this set, all songs are in stereo, which was not available for any of the songs, including “Cherokee Queen” and “Hoochie Coochie Man” which have always been in mono. “Mama I’m Comin’ Home” is certainly a highlight here– the definitive recording of it, as well as a rockin’ song. “When You Dance” is a near complete recording with only a small dropout (as the March 14 rehearsal also has), but gains points as being a much more high energy live performance than the rehearsal take, with comparable sound quality and fantastic stereo guitar play between Bruce and Steve.

This recording comes from a set of 2 cassette tapes that I acquired in 1983 from a guy at a record store in Bloomfield, NJ. The tapes somehow got lost in the shuffle, and I had actually listened to them many years ago, but had thought that I now had these recordings on CD. I recently discovered the two tapes while trying to find songs for my “20th Century Songs” set.

When I had found these tapes earlier this year, I had hoped that as the UBER series of recording was being released, that this recording would help to dislodge some of the long held recordings that the “old fans” have in their possession and are kept between a small group of collectors, for the rest of the Bruce community to never hear. Unfortunately, this plan to uncover more lost gems like this was not successful… so, this is my offering to you. As I go through the remainder of these old tapes, I hope to discover more of the same.

from cassette master with a few short splices from a different edit of the same master plus
another taper’s 1st gen. source that had the tape flip in a different place.
You’ll have to listen very carefully to hear the transitions and it is now the entire show without any cut songs.

Disc 1: 56:23 – main set:
01 [05:26] Positive Vibration
02 [03:46] Dem Belly Full
03 [06:05] Concrete Jungle
04 [05:04] Rebel Music
05 [03:58] War!

07 [04:50] Heathen
08 [03:26] Easy Skanking
09 [04:37] I Shot The Sheriff
10 [07:12] No Woman No Cry

Disc 2: 25:45 – encores:
02 [06:19] Lively Up Yourself
03 [05:58] Get Up Stand Up
04 [03:36] > Punky Reggae Party
05 [09:52] > Exodus

Some microphone handling noises, level changes and minor dropouts were eliminated or minimized seamlessly and this now sounds way better than previous versions of this show. I consider this to be possibly the best sounding audience Bob Marley recording that I have heard. Check the samples to judge the sound for yourself.thanks to Dime users chkorch, wailertape and scottsays (by way of pantagruel) for supplying the various sources that make up this remaster.Info for primary cassette master source: Nakamichi CM300 microphones with CP4 shotgun capsules > Nakamichi 550 cassette deck master > Dat > CD.

No equalization or noise reduction was used in the mastering process.

From the original uploader:

10,000 Maniacs’ “The Wishing Chair” L.P. will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year (original release date – September 23, 1985). Since it seems apparent that the Maniacs are not being given the remaster / bonus tracks / box set treatment that they so richly deserve, I’ve decided to upload all of my 70+ live and rare 10,000 Maniacs recordings during the coming weeks. Although many of these recordings will be re-seeds of previous Dime torrents, a substantial number have never appeared on the Dime (and many others haven’t been shared since the Dime’s previous incarnation as “easytree.org” circa 2005).

This is an excellent soundboard recording from the pre-“Wishing Chair” era, featuring multiple songs that were short-lived in the band’s live set and that ultimately remain unreleased.

Disc 1, track #6, and Disc 2, track #15, are referred to as “Toy Helmet” and “Primitive Mentality” respectively. Both are early versions of future b-side / bonus track “The Colonial Wing”. I can’t say exactly why they are labeled under different titles, but both “Toy Helmet” and “Primitive Mentality” are referenced often enough in other Maniacs setlists that I’m inclined to believe that both titles were used by the band at one point or another.

Disc 2, song #7, is a song commonly referred to as “John Sings Ska”, but I have no idea of whether that’s an unofficial fan-created title or not. The same song also appears on the Buffalo 1984 recording (to be uploaded separately), using that same title.

Richard Skinner Session
May 19, 1989

Tracks:

1. Richard Skinner radio intro
2. What’s the Matter Here (acoustic)
3. Richard Skinner intro. to “Eat For Two”
xx. Eat For Two (Natalie solo on piano) – not included, as it was officially released on the “Eat For Two” 10″ single
5. Richard Skinner intro. / Dust Bowl

Description:

First and foremost, all credit for this upload goes to fellow Dime member “cre001”, who graciously contacted me and offered to send his master recording of this BBC radio session. His detailed transfer information is listed under “source”, above. It’s also worth mentioning that cre001’s audio expertise greatly exceeds my own, and I appreciate his high-quality transfer and thorough source notes.

This radio session features Natalie, Rob Buck, and guest Julia Palmer on cello. Unfortunately, Natalie’s solo piano version of “Eat For Two” needed to be removed, as it had been officially released on the limited edition “Eat For Two” 10″ single.

Source: this is an FM recording, graciously sent to me by fellow Dime member “cre001”. Per his description:

“The source was my own original recording from the FM broadcast using a roof top aerial and a Sanyo Betamax VTC-M40 hifi video recorder onto a TDK Extra Hi Grade L750 tape. I am not sure which tuner I was using at the time but it was a good quality hifi tuner. My recollection is playback and transfer was via the same video deck direct into my PC sound card using Audacity and exported as 24/96 wav as sent to you.”

Additional source notes: “Cre001” provided this recording to me as one long file, transferred to me losslessly. I then
used Audacity to separate the recording into individual tracks, convert them to 16/44 wav, and I then converted the files to FLAC using Trader’s Little Helper.

Sound quality: A+

4. noodle (G&C)
5. Take Me Home Country Roads (G&C Marmaduke and others on vocals)

From the original uploader:
Picked up something I haven’t seen elsewhere.
This single sbd CD features Jerry Garcia & Buddy Cage jamming and
noodling with a few Marmaduke vocals and a Weir vocal (Seasons).
Someone (Marmaduke) picks up a bass halfway through)
Very interesting artifact, not from the vault. Session runs until reel
runs out (47:30)

Here’s what I have on this:

Jam Session Info
Here’s the note from James that came with the show:
Now, to the other goody I sent you. Here’s the story on that. A friend of
mine who does sound and production work here in St. Louis was taking slide
guitar lessons and went through the archive of open reel tapes they had
there and found the one in question. He asked to borrow it and took it home
and did a 24 bit digital transfer from the mono 7″ open reel. This hasn’t
been heard by many more people than Brad, myself and a few others in 30
years!!! I was pretty damn excited about the discovery and glad that I was
only the second person that had heard it counting Brad after he mastered the
tape. As far as I know at this point it’s Jerry Garcia, Buddy Cage and other
members of NRPS. Other than that that’s all I know right now. The Grateful
Dead’s archives don’t even have this tape. Pretty fun stuff to listen too
even though it’s a lot of noodling and such. I kinda like it myself.
Everything was plugged straight into the open reel deck. So the source would be:
7″ mono open reel > 24 bit transfer > resample > CD-R

* Previous = LB-453. from aud master,very good to excellent sound; from shn upload phil’s ftp server 10/01

No fix required. The digital silence gaps fall at beg/end of discs, between sets or evident tape edits, do not warrant removal as sector alignment would modify all tracks which are otherwise without any audible flaws.
