The Who – Liverpool, England (05/14/71)

The Who
Liverpool University, England
14 May 1971

A fair audience recording with a little distortion, but definitely listenable. The first 74 minutes of the show are here intact, but the rest is missing. ‘My Generation’ and ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ supposedly rounded out the performance.

Vintage Who here, recorded while ‘Who’s Next’ was being completed and featuring mostly new material. Includes rare versions of ‘Time Is Passing’, ‘Getting in Tune’, and ‘Too Much of Anything’, all dropped by the time they toured the States.

This version is the complete show, and uses two different sources. The first (Tracks 1-5) is an upgraded portion that was posted here before. The rest is from another unknown audience recording, obtained from db.etree listings. I put this together for my own use and figured others would love to hear it. This features a very rare live version of “Shootout In Chinatown” from Cahoots. I hope everyone enjoys this! Thank you…

The Band – Copenhagen, Denmark (05/27/71)

The Band

KB Hallen
Copenhagen Denmark

Received this copy perhaps in 2000 and was
labelled as being from a 1st generation reel (AUD:MR>RR>CD).
CD clone>EAC>FLAC on 02/27/15

I do not recall the specific information about the analog>digital transfer and from whom I got this from.

However, this is a sonic upgrade to previous versions I have had of this show. That includes the incomplete portion of this show that appears on the bootleg “Live In Copenhagen-Run For Cover 2001” and the one that would appear on trade lists prior to the year 2001.

My older copies included a cut segment of “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” and many more pauses between numbers where the tape was presumably stopped.

“The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” is not cut on this version and many of those pauses are also not here. Unfortunately, ‘The Shape Im In’ is completely missing and the begining of “The Unfaithful Servant” is clipped from this copy though. I have included both uncut as filler at the end from an unknown generation audience source.

after giving this a listen, I decided to seed this ‘as is’!
the recording is pretty hard to listen to I think,
pitch is pretty much okay, but not perfect,
nothing that I would want to work on given the quality.

anyways, I guess this is a pretty rare show with
The Band in their prime, thanks to banatom for the source.

Miles Davis – Oslo, Norway (11/09/71)

Miles Davis Septet
09 Nov 1971
Chateau Neuf, Oslo, Norway

Received in trade.
This is what I know: This show was broadcast by Norsk Rikskringkastning TV (NRK) and was also an FM broadcast. I have two different sources for the radio broadcast and they don’t sound anywhere near as good as this.
There’s also an NRK webcast. Contrast clause(s): the video stream is here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=357067, and an audience recording here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=449047.)

As the audio quality is excellent (check samples), I wondered if my version of the recording was taken from the (lossy) web stream. However, TLH confirms that the tracks are “100% CDDA” (see details below). Additionally, I have included the Spectrum Analysis. Granted, I’m no expert on this, but there’s no obvious cut off at 18000-20000Hz.

  1. Directions (J. Zawinul)
  2. Honky Tonk (M. Davis)
  3. What I Say (M. Davis)
  4. Sanctuary (W. Shorter)
  5. It’s About That Time (M. Davis)
  6. Yesternow (M. Davis)
  7. Funky Tonk (M. Davis)
  8. Sanctuary (W. Shorter)

Duration: 1:19:23
Shorter than the TV broadcast, which included approximately 2 mins of dead air and signal bars.

Version History

This recording originates from a plaz transfer of his friend’s tape in 2000 or thereabouts, so here’s the original information….

Lineage: NDR FM stereo radio broadcast > R > cas > cdr
Transfer: Akai stereo cassette deck > TASCAM CD-RW700

Editor 1: 1st generation cassette transfer and WavLab 4 restoration by plaz and Guiseppe Candiamo

  • Continuous NR: The original transfer disc contained a couple of perfect noise samples at the start and end, so it was possible to remove most of the broadband tape noise and hiss without adversely affecting the music. The two channels were separated into L and R channel files and de-noised independently because the noise was different for each channel. The continuous DNR process was run successively at a very low rate, using the output from the previous run to remove any DNR artifacts during the subsequent run, a virtual CEDAR processing stack. This process was applied to each of the two cassette tape sides involved, and then the files were reassembled.
  • spliced 2 tape sides: This recording was copied from a continuous reel and appears to be the complete live-to-air broadcast.
  • gain normalized and tracked

The layout of the original trade CDRS:
CD1 [47:48]
1 Introduction / band Warming Up (0:56)
2 Directions (14:55)
3 Honky Tonk (2:38)
4 Funky Tonk (1:41)
5 Honky Tonk (6:50)
6 What I Say? (15:48)
7 Sanctuary (4:56)
CD2 [39:18]
8 It’s About That Time (17:04)
9 Funky Tonk / Sanctuary (22:13)
TT: 87:04

Editor 2 (twat with advisor Prof Goody)

Post Production: FLAC > WAV > Adobe Audition (Pitch Bender: +60 cents, Fade Out: d1t08) > CD Wave (Re-Tracked & removed gaps) > TLH > FLAC
Editor 3 (TomP with Nero 7)

  • Reduced RH channel to 70%
  • Cross-faded L&R channels (80:20 ratio) to fix headphone unfriendly mix
  • Fixed glitch 8.22 in Honky Tonk
  • Fixed glitches 3.37 3.52 & 4.30 in Sanctuary
  • Fixed glitch at 0.41 in “It’s About That Time”
  • Combined the split Honky Tonk tracks (inc. short Funky Tonk fragment)
  • Fixed the Fade out between Sanctuary & It’s about that time; now it is a continuous set

Comments:
Recording clarity is superb, with very low noise, so the original recorder did a fantastic job, but it still needed the final touches (details above) to make it a ‘must have’ recording; its has low noise and a great mix as the 3 percussionists are spread across the stereo image. I would classify it as similar to the quality of the official Black Beauty CDs, a slightly edgy sound, but terrific powerful performance, definitely towards the electric side (my distinct preference as Keith plays a lot more organ) rather than jazz side of this group’s recordings, so…Hope you enjoy this as much as I do now! Many thanks again to ‘twat’ for his post and encouragement for this remaster

Editor 4 (plaz): Sound Forge 10 Pro

  • repaired a few clicks and pops, removed a few micro gaps near a couple of the track boundaries, gain normalized and retracked.

Lineage: FM broadcast> ?> bootleg CD> EAC> WAV> Audacity (rebanding)> WAV> FLAC (level 8)> DIME> your ears

This torrent is taken from disc one of the Jazz Door bootleg ‘Another Bitches Brew: Two Concerts in Belgrade’ (disc two to follow).

There are many fine recordings taken from this 1971 tour and this is up with the best of them, with the band in its usually fine form.

The recording quality is very good, although the mix is a little skewed and reverberant. Shouldn’t cause anyone any major problems though, I’ll give it a B+.

The original CD issued the whole concert as one long track. I’ve separated the pieces.

Details of the show can be found on Pete Losin’s Miles Ahead site: http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/Sessions.aspx?s=711103

Please note that, as with all the shows from this tour, Losin lists tracks 3 and 4 together as a single title, ‘What I Say,’ although I maintain they are two separate pieces (the first part does not appear on 1970 recordings of ‘What I Say’). Discographer Enrico Merlin has argued that the first part is a development of ‘What I Say,’ so I have banded these pieces separately and referred to them as ‘What I Say, parts 1 and 2.’

Enjoy!
