Originally recorded by Fred W. from right up front and center
Tape to tape copy and mastering by Audioarchivist U – 101

Lineage:
Queen>PA & stage monitor sound>air and audience>Fred’s mics and rig (unsure – Marantz?)>Maxell UD90 tapes>vintage Akai replay deck (azimuth adjusted, no Dolby)>Sentrek 12 band analog EQ (minor low and high boost)>Denon DRM500 recording deck (Dolby on for recording) to make my tape copy>Maxell XL II 90>played back on same Denon DRM500 (azimuth re-adjusted, no Dolby)>Sentrek 12 band analog EQ (more lows and highs, shaping upper bass/lower mids)>SoundBlaster live! 5.1 card (grounded and tweaked)>Wavelab 4.0(track markers only, no digital processing at all)

Notes:
When I originally copied this from Fred’s collection for myself on cassette, I was amazed how clear this recording was and how close Fred sounded to the stage. I almost always performed EQ surgery on any copies I made to try and smooth everything out, and this was no exception. This tape, like many recordings Fred did thru the years, was pretty close to perfect already and didn’t need much work to make it sound like you were actually there, however, the lowest tones of bass and kick drum were a little thin, and upper bass/lower vocal range was a little jumpy. Well that’s all fixed now. There is some noise associated with the original tapes (normal bias “low noise” tapes!) but that should not discourage you at all. My copy sounded more pleasing than the originals did, and even more refined when played into the computer for you now. I have chosen to not process the noise out, and leave a little bit of the shit and corruption in. I think the background noise gives this tape life and breath, and removing it would kill the atmosphere it brings. You will get used to it after 5 minutes, and it’s not noticeable at all over the music.

I have tracked this for CD in the way it was on the master tapes, leaving all sides uncut. Side A is disc 1 (38:39), while sides B and C fit on disc 2 (77:27). I have included scans of my color photocopies of Fred’s original master tape covers for you, and a copy of the cover of the 1978 tour book. I have no real artworx for this NEW MASTERPIECE, so if you make some, please post them at TTD in the thread for this bootleg, and also please email me jpegs of your results.

Feel free to make audio CDR’s of this for your friends and family, but if any of them might trade further, please provide them with a copy of the FLAC files. Don’t rip from the audio CDR copies you make, EVER! There is no need to pee in the trading pool. Backup your FLAC files, you’ll need them later! If you can avoid it, don’t EnCrap to MP3 files, either. MP3 sounds like crud anyway, and this dynamic recording will suffer greatly in lossy formats. If I find out you spread around an MP3 version of this, I’ll come to your house and do bad things to you and yours… like farting in your fridge! So, just don’t make into lossy files, please! That goes for you, too AAC and OGG!

Scott Muni, acting as this show’s emcee, makes a reference to how the audience is about to hear some “real” music just before bringing on Al Di Meola and his solo band for an electrifying showcase of jazz-rock fusion. It is almost as if the announcer is promising the audience redemption for having had to endure corporate rock and disco. Remember, this was 1978 …

Di Meola, a Berklee School of Music graduate whose blistering guitar style married the best elements of rock and jazz, had just left Return to Forever, the groundbreaking fusion band that included Chic Corea on keyboards, Stanley Clarke on bass, and Lenny White on drums. During this time he was among the most celebrated jazz-rock musicians on the scene. Two years prior, while still in Return to Forever, Di Meola had released Land of the Midnight Sun; he followed it in 1977 with Elegant Gypsy, which went Gold in the US. The success was driven by FM radio stations, an unlikely benefactor given their begrudging support of jazz-fusion.

This show, recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour at New York’s Palladium Theater, features an all-star band that was assembled in order to record the 1978 album, Casino. With Steve Gadd on drums, Barry Miles on keyboards, bassist extraordinaire Anthony Jackson, and a percussion section including Mingo Lewis, these guys could really play, even if they hadn’t been working together for very long. For the set, Di Meola mixes material from his three solo albums, including Casino. “Chasin’ the Voodoo,” “Dark Eye Tango,” “Short Tails Of The Black Forest,” and “Fantasia Suite For Two Guitars,” are played with speed and precision, and the power of the Gadd/Jackson rhythm section is undeniable.

Things are thrown through a curve when Di Meola offers up a new arrangement of RTF bandmate Chick Corea’s jazz classic, “Captain Senór Mouse.” With most of the songs clocking in at five to ten minutes, Di Meola is eager to give his side players considerable space and time to solo and stretch out. Other highlights include “Midnight Tango” and the powerful “Race With The Devil On The Spanish Highway.” The band finishes its encore to a thunderous response from the crowd. Not knowing any other new material, the band performs a reprise of “Chasin’ the Voodoo.”

Di Meola has remained a jazz fusion superstar ever since, although he is focusing much more on acoustic music and more straightforward jazz leanings these days.

COMPLETE DEMO TRACKS OF “THE WALL” ALBUM

Recorded at The Floyd’s Britannia Row Studios

(Sept-Dec, 1978 & Late 1979)
& Super Bear Studio(April-Aug 1979)
in France.

This is just like being in the studio with the Floyd!

This is the studio demo track they drawn on to record the final mix of their “Wall” album: every track IS a radically different unreleased version to the album’s.

It includes loads of unedited mixes, never released tracks (merged into other songs), different lyrics, original sound collages etc …

Without the full lush arrangements you get a good idea of what Roger Waters had in mind when he first conceived The Wall: a dry, alienating & beautiful descent into his tormented mind.

It is a real surprise is to hear the band as the original 4 piece experimenting like in “the good old days” with all sorts of different ideas that didn’t make it onto the final mix for most: various synth lines, weird sounds, raw guitars, strange sound collages etc… One can appreciate the massive task of editing and changing most of these songs to fit on the double album we all know.

It is “The Wall” like you have never heard it before: just brilliant!!

NOTES:
Good Points:
A fine audience recording especially given it’s age, of an excellent performance from circa 1978 [exact date unknown]. You really get the feeling Tom is enjoying himself here …….

Bad Points:
The show is alas incomplete 😦 There are quite a few cuts present where music is lost & it would appear that it was indeed that way on the master. You can hear the dreaded short whurr of the recorder button being depressed on more than one occasion.
– Track 01 has a cut at approx 13:29secs [the remainder of Burma Shave was originally tracked seperately]
– There is a cut where the end of ”Red Shoes” [track 05] & the beginning of ”Annie’s Back In Town” [track 06] is missing.
– There is a fade at the the end of track 07 although it would appear that no music is lost
– Following on from ‘Silent Night”, track 09, ”Christmas Card From A Hooker…….” is cut after 0:55secs appx

On top of all of the above, this show was in quite a mess when i received it as it was also tracked poorly & had numerous blank/dead segments, Believe it or not, it’s presented here in a better state than it was but the imperfections [cuts] that are irrepairable, date back i believe to some smokey evening in California ’78.
