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.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was the last time that I was to see and record the Allman Brothers Band. The SB County Bowl is a small intimate venue that holds about 3,500 people. We were up front in the 8th row. Space was tight and I had to run my gear under the seat but as I remember I believe that they let us bring in microphone stands this time, as opposed to back in 1992.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
My fourth Allman Brothers Band show, and my second ABB show at Shoreline. This time we were in the reserved section rather than on the lawn and the crowd was a little bit better behaved. (At least this show I didn’t have people purposely coming up to my microphones and trying to scream into them!) I still didn’t have an external microphone preamp yet and the internal pre on the D7 was kind of finicky. Fortunately the Nakamichi’s didn’t require phantom power. It was nice to be able to bring in a microphone stand, as opposed to the ’92 show when I had to duct tape my microphone brace to the steel cables that separate the reserved from the general admission section. I believe Rusted Root opened this year. I do remember that I was not that impressed with them and did not record their set.

Taper Notes:
I had heard that the Allman Brothers were becoming taping friendly and trying to attract some of the Dead’s taper crowd. When I got to the County Bowl that afternoon I noticed that the sign that says ‘No Cameras, Tape Recorders, Weapons, Etc’, had black electrical tape over the words ‘tape recorders’. I took that as a Good Sign! They let me in with no problem after I explained that my bag contained Only audio taping equipment; my usual spiel. I just wish that the head of security had clued in the rest of the staff! The security sure tried to hassle me as I was setting up my mics. They were clueless that the Allmans allowed taping. The Bowl wouldn’t allow mic stands so I had to hold a T-Bar with the CM-300s on it the whole night. Man, was my arm tired later! As I was setting up my mics on the T-Bar, this security guy comes over, frowns, and says, ‘What are Those?’ Ah, microphones, says I. ‘What are they FOR?’, he asks. For Recording, says I. I Almost added, ‘Is this a trick question’? It seemed obvious to me what they were for! ‘We’ll see about this!’ he says, and storms off. A little while later he comes back, about 20 feet away, looks at me and shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head as he walked away! I had a lady complain to me that they wouldn’t let her bring in a camera so why was I able to tape the show? Hey, rules are rules. I asked her if she’d ever had a flash go off in her eyes but she wasn’t listening. There were a couple of other tapers there that night but I think that I was the closest to the stage. I’ve never seen another recording of this show from another source in circulation. Anyway, this was my 1st Allman Brothers concert and I thought that they were awesome. I loved the interplay between the musicians. Warren was on fire!!! Hootchie Coochie Man sent chills down my back. He is such a bluesman! I had seen and recorded the Dead since early 1986 but I understood after the show why people say that NOBODY COOKS LIKE THE ALLMAN BROTHERS!!! Blues Traveler opened the show and I recorded them with the same Nakamichi CM-300s->Sony WMD-D6C rig. Even now, after seeing the Allmans quite a few times over the years, I have to say that the 1992 line up is still one of my favorite incarnations of the band.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:

This ‘review’ I had originally posted to DAT-Heads soon after the show in 1999

Just back from Greg Allman and Friends at the Ventura Theatre.
The theatre people gave me the usual run around even though I had a print
out of the ABB web page which stated the taping policy. I finally went
directly to Robert, the manager, who is a friend of a friend of mine.
He was cool and said he didn’t mind but someone would have to personally
ask the road manager. I relayed this to one of the security people outside
who came back 5 minutes later with a long face and said, ‘sorry dude. You
can’t’. I told him that Robert had already given his OK but they would
have to talk with the road manager. This guy then said he would go back
and ask again. I figured I was just going to get the run around so I
walked down the street and found an open side door near back stage. The
road manager was outside talking to this same security kid. I walked up
and smiled and the security guy looked at me then looked at the road
manager and said, ‘oh yeah. One other thing. You can answer this guy’s
question. You Don’t allow recording do you?’ He asked expecting the answer
no. ‘Sure. Audio, no video’ was his response.

I thanked him and went to go in. The door people were a little alarmed at
my mic stand and wanted to know what it was. All the tables on the floor
were reserved for dinner except for 4 seats on the center table, second
tier. Myself and another taper sat down. He had already paid for dinner, I
hadn’t. Immediately the floor manager was all over me telling me I
couldn’t set up here because it was for dinner people only, blah blah
blah. So I had to pay the $20 on the spot for dinner but got to keep my
killer FOB center location. Right where I wanted to be anyway.

Moral to the story is it helped having the printout of the web page but it
also helped more being able to go right to the manager. But still I had to
work to get my gear inside because I basically had to ask the band’s road
manager myself. I couldn’t believe I was the only stand in the room!
I was expecting more tapers in Ventura. Especially since it was so close
to LA.

OldNeumanntaper Notes:
This was a show I almost didn’t go to. As I remember, one of my coworkers had tickets that they couldn’t use, but I had to drive to Sacramento to pick them up. I left early that morning with my friend Jim Burns and we drove to Sac from Morro Bay, up I-5. I didn’t know until we got there that they were only lawn tickets. (I could have bought those at the show!) I was thinking that they were reserved seats, but,,, they were free. It just took a lot of gas to get there. When we finally got to Shoreline the security staff would not allow us entry with the recording gear. We had to wait until the Allman’s bus arrived and have them inform them that tape recorders were in fact OK. Thanks to Kirk West! (While we were waiting, I sent Jimmy in with my blanket and had him grab a spot front and center of the lawn, right up against the fence that separates the general admission area from the reserved sections.) Once I got inside I duct taped my microphone brace to the steel cables, about six feet high, because they would not allow microphone stands inside the amphitheatre.

Luckily I had the CP4 shotgun capsules for my Nakamichi CM-300s, because the crowd was really loud and unruly. I was the only taper up front on the lawn that night. Another guy came in at the last minute and patched into my D6 with a Marantz, either a 420 or 430, but my microphones were the only ones I could see anywhere. I actually had people walk up to where we were set up and cup their hands and scream up toward the mics, trying to ruin the recording. They looked at me and just laughed! I was not happy, but there was nothing I could do about it. I just hate people who deliberately try to ruin someone else’s time, in this case; my recording. I thought that the tape would certainly be a disaster, but fortunately the CP4 capsules have excellent side rejection so the screams were greatly attenuated. I remember another taper I met at a Jerry show once who said that crowd noise on a recording was, ‘All part of the show’ and there was no use worrying about it, but in this case I thought it was a little excessive.

I didn’t get home until two or three am and accidentally left my ticket stub on the dash of the car. By the time I went outside the next day the sun had turned the Bass ticket stub black. Oh well, at least I have the recording.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was my third Allman Brothers Band recording at Shoreline, and at least by now the venue staff was clued into tapers and let us bring microphone stands into the venue. Whereas the Dead had a designated tapers section, the Allman Brothers would let you record wherever your seat was. This was both good and bad, because even though you could record from up front if you had the ticket, you were still at the mercy of the crowd around you. It’s why they say ‘safety in numbers’. In the tapers section you could be helped by like-minded individuals who all had the common goal of recording, but the Allman Brothers tapers were scattered hither and yon and your neighbors could make or break your recording. At least I was able to run my microphone capsules on the stand with the active cables so they took up as little room as possible. I remember people yelling to security about tapers with larger mics that were obscuring their view and they made them lower their stands. I think this was the only time that I was able to see Martin Fierro play. He added so much to Jerry Garcia’s funk band ‘Legion Of Mary’. I loved his playing.

Source: analog SBD recording > ? > CD-R > EAC > FLAC

Remastered by Mr. Sifter, July 2024. Some songs have incomplete intros/outros, and “Southbound” has a cut in the middle. Not anyone’s favorite era but an overlooked era, with full 5 songs off ‘Brothers Of The Road,’ an album they’d never return to again after the tour ended a couple months later.

Speed corrected to the correct pitch using Audacity,

Clearly a few generations from the master, removed some of the gratuitous hiss and attempted to EQ some details out of the lows and mids to at least give this short-lived lineup a fair shake here.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was a stealth recording because the fairgrounds would NOT allow a recording to be made, even though the band allowed it. I purchased tickets that were directly under the left PA stack, as the crowds at the fair shows are usually drunk and unruly. This was the night that Dickey went to the hospital midway through the set so the band had to improvise with lots of long drawn out jams. You got the feeling the band was really flying by the seat of their pants after Dickey was taken away. It was like, ‘OK guys, NOW what do we do?’ The show must go on! I believe that my recording was the only one made that night. I’ve never seen another source for this show, and most of the tapers were still in Colorado for the ABB Red Rocks shows that had just taken place the previous weekend. As usual, the Mid State Fair crowds were drunk and obnoxious. (I wanted to be as close to the PA stacks as possible!) I used the omni capsules because I had the microphones hidden in a Levi jacket with just the capsules protruding from the front pockets, and they were pointing straight up. (There was really no way to ‘aim’ them’ so proximity to the PA was key.) This was my standard stealth set up at the time. The jacket had holes sewn into the bottom of the front pockets and I used hollowed out 35mm film can lids that went around the microphone bodies to keep the weight of the microphones from falling through the pockets. Custom shortened XLR >RCA cables were used to link with a standard RCA >Mini Y cable that ran into the mic input on my D7.
