OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This, and the previous night, was the only time that I’ve ever been to the San Francisco Civic Auditorium, now re-named the Bill Gram Civic Auditorium.
I remember THIS night well! I went up with my friend Jeff Chase, who was a quadriplegic, and had never been to a Dead show before. Because he was in a wheel chair, they put us at the head of the line. I was literally the FIRST person through the door, on the night that was to become the very last time the Dead were allowed to perform at the SF Civic (because of severe damage to the botanical gardens caused by Deadheads.)

When I ran up to the balcony I was amazed to see only yellow-shirted staff members prepping for the show. I was the first person in the tapers section, but I elected to
give the front row to the more experienced tapers with better gear, and I took an aisle seat a few rows back.

Rather than re-extract my discs of this show, and lose the patches that Brad had installed, I downloaded these files from the LMA. I had to decode them to break the files into disc I, disc, II, disc III, as Brad marked them as two separate sets. Nothing else was changed, except that I tagged the files. FFps will match but MD-5 files will not.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This, and the next night’s show, was the only time that I’ve ever been to the SF Civic Auditorium, now re-named the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. I remember that there was a large balloon sculpture or something or other, (I can’t remember exactly what it was), hanging from the ceiling for Chinese New Year and all I could see the whole night was Jerry’s feet. This was only the third show that I had recorded with my recently-purchased Superscope EC-7 cardioids and Sony TC-153SD cassette recorder. For some reason I was starting the second set on side two of the first set tape, which gave me one additional tape flip. I don’t remember when I finally wised up. These were good shows.

[additional notes from J. : 2016]:
The source for this version was made from my own re-compiled 1st-gen master tapes, shortly after the concert. As with so many live tapes I made back then, I would often consolidate segments from multiple cassettes onto one tape, applying fade-ins, fade-outs, and occasionally, some equalization in the process. If only I still had those original tapes!

Working on the “Mr. Smith” recording of this performance got me a bit excited. Nearly thirty years later, it was the first time I had seen another source for that show other than my own, and I held my breath, in the hopes that the other taper might have caught the last three songs which I missed, due to failing batteries. Alas, it was not to be the case, after all. Still, it provided the incentive for me to revisit my own recording; and I was curious how it would fare on one of the NAK decks I had picked up recently. I was nearly certain that I had already digitized this in the past, but after a good bit of research, there was no evidence of having actually done so. If it’s true that I never actually got around to it before, than this might possibly be the first digitized version from this source recording, unless someone can prove otherwise.

As this particular recording has long been one of my absolute favorites, it’s kind of ironic that at the time, I wasn’t even remotely a fan, but the young woman I was fond of at the time was a huge fan, so naturally I didn’t waste any time getting tickets, and was lucky enough to score some tickets in the fifth row (which as it turned out, did wonders for the quality of the recording). If I had been indifferent about the show when I walked into the venue, that feeling was completely gone by the end of the show; it was one of the few performances I can say was truly memorable.

For reasons I will never know, my batteries – which were brand new right before the show – chose to stop working as Waits returned to stage and began singing “Time”. I tried starting the deck again, but I could see the battery light had lost its’ glow, and I kind of knew it was a lost cause. He followed that with “Train Song”, which was also not recorded, and then left the stage again, to return a few minutes later for one final encore. I believe I was actually fighting back tears when the first notes of “Tom Traubert’s Blues” began, and I realized I was not going to be able to convince my tape deck to record one more note.

Once outside, we decided to loiter in the parking lot behind the venue, where the tour bus was parked. I hadn’t realized that the wall I was leaning on while lighting my cigarette was in fact a door, until it suddenly jerked open and nearly knocked me to the ground. “Oh! Sorry, man!”, I heard a familiar voice exclaim, as a spritely fellow quickly reached out to help me back on my feet; and once I was upright, the voice quipped, “Hey, can I get a light from you?” Of course, I immediately recognized him as the same character I had just spent the past two hours watching on stage. My friend and I chatted with him for a few minutes about nothing in particular, before others started to congregate in the lot, and we knew it was time to say goodbye. I know I silently cursed the batteries in my deck for not working, since it was still strapped under my jacket, and it would have been fun to have recorded our meaningless little chat.

Four days later, recording for “Big Time” began, on November 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. When that concert film came out, I honestly felt that I had a recording that better captured the energy of Tom Waits in performance mode, but I suppose every taper must think that about at least one of their own recordings. It’s all good, as the kids like to say.

“I Wish I Was In New Orleans” and “9th & Hennepin” are complete on this recording.

This recording is incomplete.
Songs missing:
Time
Train Song
Tom Traubert’s Blues

additional notes [01001010; 2016]:
J. was pretty sure that he had digitized this before and that it had been on the DIME tracker, but we couldn’t find any notes in the physical archives, and there doesn’t seem to be any mention of it in the DIME-bot-list. If anyone can confirm that it was shared digitally, please let us know! In any case, this sounds pretty good – enjoy!

Dedicated to tapesfor2, who had this to say about my efforts to preserve the Sonic Archives tape collection:
“You shouldn’t have. His recordings were at ‘best’ personal souvenirs. They were not quality recordings. They should not be shared. Those tapes belong on a waste dump.”

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Santa Barbara, CA (02/06/87)

Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young
1987-02-06 2nd show
Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
Greenpeace Benefit

Here’s one from the vaults.
I believe this one has never been on the tracker before.
I think it’s a very good musical perfomance by the great foursome.
Trading off songs, completing each other, giving room to a good performance.
I like ‘m best like this.

This show was the forerunner to the recording of the American Dream album.
Neil promised David to work with him again if he left the drugs alone, he kept his word.
There were two shows that evening, the first one being a little shorter,
and my copy of the second show sounded better.

Gotta warn you, it’s not your all time super quality sounding tape.
This one comes from a 4th generation analoge cassette.
Back in the snail mail days I tried for years to find me a better copy, but no luck.
If anybody has a lower generation/better sounding one please put it on the tracker.
The tape 45’\90’ends were glued together to get a flowing set. Here and there some gaps and holes were fixed.
There is one gap in Changing Partners which I couldn’t fix properly, so I left it in. The first few seconds of Southern Man are missing
Beside some hiss reduction no adjustments were made to my original tape.

lineage: 4th generation analoge tape played through a Pioneer S430S >> EDirol SD card >> PC
Editing with Adobe Audition

An all acoustic performance by the great foursome with some nice surprises in the setlist.
First of all an unreleased Crosby tune called ‘He’s An American’, Nash his great song ‘Try To find Me’
and a seldom heard acoustic performance of ‘Mideast vacation’ by Young.
But what really stands out is the great singing and performing, they’re in fine form here[check out This Old Huose]
A joy to listen to.
Check it out.

In the files you can find a few pictures, found on the net.
Also included a scan of the review of the show from the Rolling Stone march 26 1987.

I could not locate this on the tracker, it’s a good audience capture on the distant side with not quite the punch one would like. A little improvement after mastering, an enjoyable listen of a good show.

There was a break between the first “Full Force Gale” and “The Mystery” but the audience sounds the same, distance and recording sound the same. I mention it because “Full Force Gale” appears again and there is a chance the last (two?) songs may or may not be from another show.
