There are minor channel fluctuations in a few spots but this mostly sounds spectacular with a very 60’s sounding mix (vocals in one channel and guitars in the other). To be able to hear Paul Butterfield with Fleetwood Mac is a highlight but Peter Green sounds really great too!

I have heard that this was posted back in the STG era, but this version has been remastered with the sets separated better between discs and some minor “nip and tuck” type edits. No EQ or noise reduction was used in the remastering process.

From Peter Green’s stage comments, this is from one week into Fleetwood Mac’s first U.S. tour and he sounds like he’s having a really good time on the last night of a 3 show run with Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. This is presumed to be the last night because Peter Green makes a comment about how they’ll be back in 2 weeks (not the following night). I think that they returned to the Carousel on the 22nd or 23rd of June.

A Dime member offered to create some cover art and it contains some rare cover photos that came from another Dime member so thanks to both of them and to the original source for this terrific recording!

I should mention that the poster for this concert was one of the strangest designs ever. It was a rendition of some medals that was supposed to be cut out and worn. I guess you’d have to see it to understand the concept…

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
As I write these notes, early in the morning of May 15, 2015, I’m remembering my one and only time recording the ‘King Of The Blues’, after now just reading of his passing. I’m glad I was able to record this show, at the Christopher Cohan Performing Arts Center at Cal Poly. This was a difficult show because I attempted to both record and photograph from the 5th row. (You can hear the shutter of my Nikon FM on the recording.) This was the last time I attempted to do both at the same show, as it was just too difficult. Enjoy!

[August 2024. I just finished going through this show track by track and lowering the levels of the obnoxious close-proximity hand claps in Audacity. I think it makes for a much better listening experience, especially with headphones. There are some that I might of missed, and I didn’t even try to remove the noise of the shutter clicking from my Nikon FM, (Oh the joys of recording and doing photos at the same time!), but as I used to say in college; ‘It was Late, and I was TIRED!’]

He was quite the show man. RIP B.B.!

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.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was the first concert that I recorded since 2019, which by the way, was also Richard Thompson (Electric Trio) at the Fremont Theater. I’m always telling myself, ‘This is the LAST show I’m going to record’, but then my friend in SLO will contact me about another show coming up and I will relent.
I didn’t have much choice these past two years because of the pandemic. No one was seeing any live music. For this show I had planned on bring in my Beyer MV100 microphone preamp but when I got to the show and took a photo of the front of the theater from across the street I noticed that they were using a wand to go over people before they entered. Damn! It takes all the fun out of it when I have to resort to subterfuge to get my gear inside. So, I decided to leave the preamp in the car and run the Neumanns directly into the XLR jacks of the Tascam recorder. The sound inside was really good and I couldn’t really tell much of a difference in the recording after using the internal preamp compared to the Beyer. I’m still kicking myself that I missed the two opening songs, but I was under the assumption that there would be an opening act and I was late getting in. Also, I had forgotten to switch on the phantom power on the back of the Tascam (which powers the microphones) because usually I use the phantom power that the Beyer preamp supplies. So it threw me at first when I wasn’t getting any levels on the recorder when I DID start to record. I guess I’m a little rusty after not recording anything these last two years.

Thanks (as always) to Flying M for the outstanding job he does in post production by reducing loud clapping and cleaning things up to make a more enjoyable listening experience, and thanks to Ethiessen for the great cover artwork and graphic arts design! Thanks also to Dave for persuading me to go to see another great show.

This was recorded by a guy named “Island”, he mostly taped shows on VHS-C
type video, but after meeting me, and collecting audio tapes, he was inspired to bring an audio deck to this show.
Good thing too, because he was too close and the audio was very distorted on
the video, so I dubbed this sound to sync to the video.
there is 25 minutes of video total, but I will need to do a new transfer before it can be shared. It will be posted to youtube with the rest of Island’s video that I have copied from his masters.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCaQbEHkPDPhBxsVAv8zqoQ/videos

I can’t explain why the audio is so clear other than this was festival
Seating and he was very close. I don’t think it was on a high quality deck or
mics but still sounds excellent.
I doubt this recording has ever been circulated before.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
When I heard from my ‘partner-in-crime’ that his friend Brian’s wife couldn’t make the show I couldn’t pay him for the ticket fast enough. I love John Hiatt and especially enjoy hearing him play solo acoustic. As usual, John tells some funny stories between songs and does a few requests. There was one guy who kept asking for ‘Feels Like Rain’. The Fremont is a beautiful theater and has wonderful acoustics and it is always a real pleasure to see a live performance there. The Fremont was built in 1942 and was one of San Luis Obispo’s two art-deco movie theaters, the other being the Obispo, which was built in 1911 and burned to the ground in late 1975. Though the Fremont still has provisions for showing films, the SLO Film Festival is held there every spring, it has since been converted to a performing arts theater. Thanks so much to Flying M for his wonderful job at post production fairy dust. 🙂
