1st posted in 2009 with no sb aligning and no lineage or setlist info at all.
reseeded in 2020 with setlist, runtime and track times
and a flac > wav > flac (sb’s aligned) reconversion to remove the sbe’s.
unfortunately the 1st tape with about 45 minutes more of this concert has gone lost, but this is the remaining part after that, and sounds like it ends with the conclusion of the show.

disc 1

d1t01. /Black Satin
d1t02. Rated X
d1t03. Honky Tonk
d1t04. Right Off/

Notes:

  • D1t01: The beginning of this song is missing along with the preceeding Intro.
  • D1t03: starting at about 8:30 there is a gurgling type noise. Not sure exactly what this.
    It continues into about the first 30 seconds of track 4.
  • D1t04: The track is cut at the end.
  • Many thanks to Freekjazz for the tapes and D. McCabe for the mastering and transfer.
    This tape came lableld as 9-24-1972 (See Peter’s notes below). Through some comparison
    it certainly fits the bill for this date. I would love to hear some of the other sources
    of this date. The sound very good. Wish the show were complete.
  • “This set was broadcast live on WBCN-FM radio. The closing announcement mentions that
    the Davis Nonet is at Paul’s Mall “for the rest of the weekend” — probably from Thursday
    the 14th through the following Sunday, the 17th. Another set, probably from a different night,
    was recorded by someone in the audience and is sonically inferior. See the listing for
    september 15-17, 1972 for details.” – Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/
  • “Super Sonic wrongly lists this music as recorded “live at the Quaker Jazz Festival,
    Philadelphia, NJ / September 24, 1972.” In addition, the track indexes are wrong:
    1.Black Satin (9:31); 2. Rated X (15:13); Honky Tonk (9:34); 4. Right Off (11:45).
    The Luxury CD is subtitled “WBCN Broadcast New Master” and the sound is imporoved over
    other issues.”- Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/

  • t01 and t07 fade out while Miles is still playing
  • This source is a little brighter and less muddy on a few of the tracks.
  • Thanks to Peter Losin for the source!!

Corrected DC offset of each channel of all tracks separately.
Pitch of tracks 01-04 was approx. 122 cents sharp (1.22 Semitones.)
Pitch of tracks 05-11 was approx. 109 cents sharp (1.09 Semitones.)

Some fluctuations in speed/pitch may still be evident. The piano’s out of tune, while the other players are naturally a bit ‘flexible’ as well…

This is a great opportunity to hear some of Miles’ best live playing with some different, excellent players. Thanks so much to the archivists who provide the sources for these rarities. As you can see, this one’s been circulating for quite a while in quite a super-fast/sharp state. I couldn’t let things continue in that fashion (although all previous versions can’t be recalled with this replacement, unfortunately.) Hope y’all enjoy it at a much more appropriate speed and pitch with this new edition, and please share this one!

WBCN radio broadcast, 63:43, A

Lineage: FM > master cassette > CDR > edits + speed correction > flac(lvl8)

Note: Same source as that used for Valleybird’s excellent remaster, but his sans patch. It seems we were both working on this simultaneously. There is a third remaster that landed on DIME in 2014, but that is sourced from the JMY bootleg which is inferior to the source used for this restoration and Valleybird’s dynamic reconstruction remaster.

Miles Davis (tpt, org); Dave Liebman (ss, ts, fl); Pete Cosey (g, perc); Reggie Lucas (g);
Michael Henderson (el-b); Al Foster (d); James Mtume Forman (cga, perc)

post restoration by plaz:
– repaired clicks and pops
– speed corrected with settings recommended by flambay: Tracks 1, 2, 4 and 5: -35cts; Track 3: -30cts
– phase correction: +0.20 to +0.24ms
– tape flip patched with material from alternate FM recording
– retracked and packed to flac(lvl8)

Additional Notes:
This recording is a restoration of the same source that Valleybird (VB) used for his excellent remaster. This source is from an off-air cassette master which was transferred to CD-R using a Phillips standalone CD-R recorder. It seems VB and I were unwittingly working on the material simultaneously.

There is a third ‘remaster’ that landed on DIME in 2014, but that is sourced from the JMY bootleg (probable 3rd analog generation, off-air tape source) which is inferior to this source which is used for this restoration and VB’s dynamic reconstruction remaster.

I have another recording of this broadcast (lineage: Mcas > cas > R > dat > wav@24-48) which is, or is similar to, the JMY boot source. Both of these sources are far inferior to this alternate MAC. This MAC was recorded on a C-60 cassette, hence the tape flip patch which was extracted from the pre-JMY 24/48 source.

Initially seeded via dimeadozen.org, September 2010.
Reseeded on TTD with no changes (but a few additional comments about sources and alternates and added the band lineup; see Additional Notes), June 16, 2019.

(Remaster/Speed-fix of Dan Lampinski Vol.3)(Flac)

Remaster to fix speed/pitch, tidy up cassette swap & stop edits, and clean & tighten up the overall sound

Many Thanks to djscomics, Kev & Carl and Dan Lampinski for the original torrent on Dime.

This Remaster (Cuztard Pi): *.flac (24bit/96Khz) -> Foobar2000 -> *.wav -> Wavelab6 -> *.wav (16bit/44.1kHz) -> Foobar2000 (level 8) -> *.flac -> Dime

The original recording was in excellent shape but IMHO did need some attention to fix a few issues, mainly:
– Wrong speed/pitch (I determined that the original plays +51 cents sharp)
– some rough edits due to cassette swap & stop
– slightly excessive tape hiss
– insufficient bass response (IMO)

The basic details of the mastering applied to the original 24bit/96Khz version from djscomics seed on Dime (using Wavelab6) are as follows:
A: edit/fill/crossfade cassette swap & stop points (to disguise the abrupt/rough edits)
B: Fix mono portion of Track 1 ‘Bohemian Rhapsody (Opera)’
C: Time stretch by 103.1% (equals -51 cent pitch change)
D: Slight de-hiss
E: EQ / Multiband Compression / Limiting (-0.2dB max) / Dithering to 16bit (bass boost & tighten up the sound)
F: WAVs edited to fit on to 2xCDRs (with overlap) plus fade in/out (using the same CD break point as the original)
G: track split (I’ve added a few more track breaks as per track list above)

Please note that this remaster reflects my own personal preferences with respect to listening to live shows. Remastering has been done to polish the raw master recording with the aim of enhancing the listening experience. This includes some editing of the original to disguise the cassette swap & stop points to make it seamless (i.e. prior to ‘The Prophet’s Song’, ‘Now I’m Here’ & ‘Hey Big Spender’) as well as some tweaks to ‘polish up’ the overall sound. So if you prefer virgin recordings, unspoiled by any such amateur ‘dabbling’ then do not join in on this one, you can still get the original recording on Dime (for CD 16bit format) here:
