OldNeumanntapr Notes; [2015]
I remember this one well. It was only my second stealth show, the first being Miles Davis at Mott Gym at Cal Poly the week before. I had some minor problems, the first being that I accidentally left my pause button engaged for the first part of the show. When I was getting ready for what I thought would be the first flip, I happened to feel the pause button was still pressed in when I touched the deck. I was pissed, after having checked levels repeatedly. (They looked great, in the dark.)

Another problem was that the CM-30 that I had used had a low level rumble in the right channel. There was something amiss in the microphone’s electronics on that channel, and I later replaced it with another CM-30. As D6 owners will no doubt remember, the D6 recorders had a one-knob level control and had only one row of LEDs for the meter, which would show the highest channel. The recorders were not adjusted at the factory and usually had one channel higher or lower than the other. I eventually had mine calibrated by a tech, but in 1990 I had only had it about a year and a half so it was still unbalanced. Being that I was running metal tape, I wanted to push the levels a bit more than normal. Unfortunately, the left channel was too hot and suffered from some distortion. The right channel, recorded at a little lower level, was better, though the right channel was the bad channel on that particular Aiwa CM-30. (During the quiet parts you can hear the low level rumble in the mic, but fortunately at this show there were not that many quiet parts and we were up front in the 8th row. I wish I would have had better mics, but I hadn’t yet bought the Nakamichi CM-300s. That wouldn’t happen until summer of ’90.

So, I transferred the tape with my D5 to my Tascam DR-100mkII, engaging the Dolby B circuits on playback, and used a Y cable to duplicate the undistorted right channel into dual mono. Then I took it into Audacity and added 30 milliseconds of silence to the start of the left (psuedo-stereo) channel to approximate the sound of a stereo delay. It actually doesn’t sound half bad.

I can’t believe that the 25 anniversary of this show was last Tuesday. The night that Santana played was the night of the infamous Cal Poly / San Luis Obispo student riots, and was what caused Poly Royal, the university’s open house celebration, to be cancelled after 50 years. It was quite a shock to see all the police in riot gear swarming around the Cal Poly campus after the show. We were dumfounded, until we saw the news later. Stupid drunk college kids rioting over nothing.

This recording is most likely the only one from this show, though as always mileage may vary and you can never say never or only. Still, I’ve never seen another one. It actually doesn’t sound half bad. I was able to get rid of the distortion from the left channel and by adding the 30 milliseconds of delay (Thanks for the tip Dennis!) it sounds a lot better than a flat monaural recording would. Still, I can’t do anything about the missing first part of the show. At least I came away with something. (About a minute after the tape starts you can hear my friend Tim lean in and say, ‘Did you bring the weed in? I should have brought some in. Everyone’s smoking’ Too funny!)

I never traded this show before, because of the flaws, so it is uncirculated. I think it sounds a lot better now after doing the work in Audacity. I found out that BOTH of the posted set lists to this show (Setlists.com and Santana’s own website) were incorrect. With a little help from my friends I was able to identify the missing tracks. Of course, I have no way of accurately knowing if the first half of the show’s previously posted set list is correct, as my tape recorder was not running for that portion.

Between 1983 and 2002 there were not any tapers more active than the “Two Of Us”. For the better part of two decades they taped over 250 artists with an array being taped multiple times.

If you collect Springsteen then you are already familiar with some of their work, “fmcleanboots” has posted a half dozen or so of their “Tunnel Of Love” tour shows but has decided to pass the baton.

What you don’t know is their passion was not just for Springsteen but for music and that passion runs deep. It is astonishing how many artists they taped.

They followed tours taping club shows, theater shows, arena shows, big artists, mid-level artists and local artists.

If they were following a tour and the tour had an off night they’d see who else was playing that night to tape. Always focused on enjoyment of the show as the priority,
tickets were for the most part acquired outside of the venue as they worked to obtain the best possible seats, continually trading up until the correct seats were acquired.

The results of this were the captures are uniformly excellent but on occasion the start of the show was sacrificed as a trade-off for the seats.

The heavy lifting was done by the Sony WM-D6C and an external Shure Mic before moving to DAT for the last couple of years. None of their masters have ever been circulated and
have been safely stored for the past three to four decades in a climate controlled environment. Tapes transferred so far are in pristine condition.

Though we may do some mini releases of a series of shows in order for one portion of a tour for the most part shows will not be released in order, there are just too many of them.

This will be a very exciting series and we hope along the way we upgrade existing circulating audio and offer up shows that do not have any circulating audio, enjoy the ride, this is definitely not a dark ride.

Beacon Theatre

October 23, 1990

This is recorder 2 for Natalie and company’s 1990 stop at the Beacon Theatre and our third 10,000 Maniacs show in the series. Another wonder performance from the group, a little bit of the Beacon reverb but highly listenable throughout.

As always thanks to Goody for his continuing support of this and all our other historic releases ensuring we are running in the correct pitch.

A big thanks as always to “Two Of Us”, their dedication to capturing all these legendary performers and shows many heard hear for the first time, the HOURS and HOURS spent waiting in line, traveling, money on tickets as well as trusting me to be the caretaker of their life’s work, our little community is indebted to you both. Also, a big thank you to my friend “fmcleanboots” for putting me in touch and laying the groundwork that has resulted in all these great releases…we’ve barely scratched the surface. The amount of completely uncirculated shows they taped and continue to get into my hands for release is staggering.

And as always thanks to Goody for his continuing support of this and all our other historic releases ensuring we are running in the correct pitch.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was one of the last cassette trades that I did in the early 90s before I made the switch to DAT. This show, and the Allman Brothers Band soundboard from 11/25/75 Civic Center Providence, RI, both came from a gentleman in the south, I believe in Georgia.
The XLII cassettes sat in my cassette collection for 30 years or so before I pulled them out for transfer. I don’t think I ever did anything with these tapes and I certainly never shared them until now. Once I switched to DAT I kind of forgot about my cassette collection. Thanks to Dave for the use of the Denon cassette deck so I could do the transfers.

Sound man was arrested before the show for “unnecessary noise” during the support act!
First four songs were played via the musicians monitors only (info from Olof’s page).

As a result, the sound is far from great on those songs, with many hecklers around our fearless taper who are
yelling towards the stage. Shouting does not stop when the PA is finally turned on … rather strange experience.

I did not harm the sound of the recording in any way other than pitch correction.
This is most likely the same recording as LB-0165.
% indicates a break in the master tape.
d1t01 first 12 seconds (introduction) patched from an inferior unknown generation alternate master.
d2t01 is incomplete on the master, so I crossfaded the start from that same
alternate master @ 1:10 for the sake of completeness, hope that’s okay.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was my very first ‘stealth’ recording, and also the one and only time that I was able to see Miles Davis. My friend Mark is a big Miles fan, and he offered to buy me a ticket if I would record the show. Hey, works for me. 🙂
I remember that we rode to the show with his friend Jay, ‘Lucky’, from Lake Tahoe, and our friend Tim, who was another big music fan, as well as Carol Jo, the ‘Wood Nymph’ from KOTR FM in Cambria. We were 10th row center at the Main Gym at Cal Poly. The sound was pretty good, though Carol Jo talked a bunch to Mark starting midway through the show. At the time, I thought it would rude to tell Mark to have her shut the hell up, because I was getting the ticket for free, and because, not ever having done a stealth show before, I had no idea how much ambient noise the microphone would pick up. At that time I was used to only recording Grateful Dead concerts from the tapers section, with microphones on a stand above head level. I was holding the Aiwa CM-30 right in front of my face for this show, and there were a lot of quiet parts. Listening to the show now, I am remembering that the tape ran out and I missed the last part. (I only brought in one 90 minute cassette. The tape ends with the beginning of another song, but I left that as part of the previous song in the indexes.) The deal I made with Mark was that I would record the show and give him the master, but I copied it for myself after the show that night. The recording would have been much better, had it not been for Carol Jo’s talking, but it is what it is. This recording has really never been circulated, outside of a few friends here on the CA central coast. I’ve had the handbill for this show for years. It was hanging in the window of the liquor store where I worked in Cayucos, CA. I recorded Santana the next week at the same venue, the night of the Cal Poly/SLO Student Riots.

I was lucky enough to catch Eric Burdon and Robbie Krieger there both in 1990, and in 1991 when Brian Auger also played with them. It was standing room only for both years, but I was young at the time and didn’t care.
