OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the only time that I’ve ever seen Love with Arthur Lee. My friend Dave is a big fan and I went with him to San Francisco. This was also the only time that I’ve been to Bimbo’s 365 Club, in North Beach. I remember that there was no search getting in and I could have easily used my Neumanns. I played it safe because I wasn’t sure what to expect. Oh but the power of hindsight. There is some clipping distortion on this recording because it was so loud, and the Nyquist’s never handled loud SPLs very well. I purposely kept my levels a bit low because I knew that the mics tend to distort in loud environments, and it is a bit distracting. As I remember, Arthur Lee died a couple of years later.

When Dave drove me through San Francisco he took me to where Winterland once stood. There are now condos on the spot where so many bands once played, and so much history took place. I wish I could have seen shows at Winterland but I was in 8th grade when it closed down.

Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. 😉

Joel Selvin Roast– w/ Bonnie Raitt and others

I have no information on this. Best I can figure is there was a roast of journalist Joel Selvin that involved a concert featuring Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Sammy Hagar and others. I don’t have a setlist or a list of who played what.

If anyone has more information please share.
