d1t06. It’s About That Time
d1t07. Miles Runs the Voodoo Down
d1t08. Spanish Key

Notes:

– d1t07: This track is an absolute mess. The bass is so loud and distorted, you can’t even tell there is other music playing.

– d1t08:Digi pop at :23

– The sound on this is very distant. There really isn’t much sonic value to it. This would be a completists only source IMO. Great performance and a piece of history nonetheless. Thank you to the taper for capturing this moment regardless of the issues.

Notes:

From original text file by Milesian June 2005:

“Technical Note: During the transfer from DAT to hard drive the source DAT snapped. The portion remaining after the break was then copied to hard drive and 1:58 from the Miles Trees source was spliced in to complete the recording. Channels were swapped and pitch adjusted on the Miles Trees portion to minimize differences in acoustic character.”

– d1t02: ~5:39 rch pinned / lch some minor high freq noise, ~9:48 rch pinned / lch some minor high freq noise
– d1t05: from ~9:12 thru ~9:41 ~ 16khz carrier appears (not audible)
– d1t07 ~ 0:02 rch pnned / lch some minor high freq noise
– d1t08: ~0:14 two closely spaced discontinuites (maybe a few samples are missing); ~2:08 rch pinned for .2 seconds, lch some high freq noise; ~5:51 brief rch pop/glitch; 9:52 thru ~ 11:53 “hiss” level rises

General comments about source quality:

– source audio signal insigificant above 8kHz,
– hiss level unobtrusive compared to LMPP215
– Poster billed band as “Miles Davis Quintet” though 6 musicians performed
– “Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/” for lineup information

Notes from the original uploader:

– A very nice sounding recording. Crisp and clean. This one I would vote in as a must have. No flaws to list!

– “The Davis Sextet opened for Neil Young and Crazy Horse and The Steve Miller Blues Band for two nights at the Fillmore East, March 6-7 (Friday-Saturday). There were two shows each night. Columbia recorded both nights, but this show remains unissued. This two-night gig is Wayne Shorter’s last as a member of the Sextet. (He did remain with Davis for a studio date on March 17.)” – Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/

– “Between these two shows Bill Graham brought in a Sabrett hot dog vendor off the street to feed the bands, the crew, and some members of the audience. – Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/

Notes from the original uploader:

– d1t01: Track starts mid song, music lost. There are multiple instances where the levels get very very hot and distort.

– d1t02: There is a slight glitch at 3:07

– d1t03: There are multiple instances where the levels get very very hot and distort.

– d1t04: There are multiple instances where the levels get very very hot and distort.

– d1t05: There are multiple instances where the levels get very very hot and distort. there are multiple other small drop outs present. At times, The left channel seems to fade in and out some.

– A decent source. The levels get a little hot in spots and there is a steady hum in the low end but still a worthwhile source though the oversaturation is a little hard on the ears at times. I would love to hear some of the other versions of this if anyone has them.

– Notes From Original Text: “This is almost the complete show, some of the beginning was missed originally, and the first couple of minutes had a lot of dropouts and sound problems. Thus, my version is slightly shorter than Losins because I had to lose some music to smooth out the problems during the very worst parts. The fade-in at the beginning was done by me. As usual, my track times do not match Losin. Enjoy the only live performance by this band,Jazzcdburner/Sweetnighter”

*This recording is purported to come from an FM ReelMaster. The sound quality is quite excellent, and this may very well be an appropriate lineage.The comparison to “Smoking Blues” reveals that this recording is brighter and cleaner, to my ears. You may find that its not an upgrade. caveat listener.danlynch 2004-08-17

From the original uploader:
This is the version with the drums overdubbed by Mitch Mitchell at Electric Lady Studios, N.Y in 1972. It’s unconfirmed but I wander if the bass wasn’t also redubbed (even partly) by Billy Cox at the same period ? This is 2 analog + 1 digital generations away from the original stereo safety masters but the digital transfer was Mini-Disc (that can’t make it 100% ‘true lossless’). I never come across an as good version without MD copy in. When Alan Douglas was in charge of the “vault”, soundboards went in and out…
One of these was the Maui overdubbed stereo safety master that was copied to VHS in the late 70s or early 80s (long before DATs & CDRs !) and then came back to the “vault”, so the 1st generation VHS copy remains the best & most complete soundboard source in circulation.
Note that all cuts on this tape are like on the safety master but it is unknown if these cuts are on the multi-track masters with original drums. The owner give a few copies to selected people, leaving them with a 2nd generation tape source. He still has the 1st gen VHS source apparently, but is currently out of the trading business. This tape has been speed corrected, but no other alterations have been made. A “Stoned” Conversation with Jimi Hendrix, Pat Hartley & Chuck Wein is added as bonus on disc 2.
