NOTE: This supercedes the previous copy which was labeled MAC>R>C>D>CD.
That copy is a mislabel, and in reality has one more cassette generation
than this one (the main source for that version derives from the tapes
used for this one). Additionally, this source includes the NRPS set,
and does not have the cuts in Dark Star.]

notes:
this is a remaster of shnid 16090:
hiss and nouse reduction has been applied throughout
a considerable number of small droputs, pops and clicks have been fixed
numerous volume adjustments have been made
I found that from St Stephen through to the end there were a number of
sections where the channels appear to have been switched, these have
now been corrected.

Port Chester, New York
Capitol Theatre
Late Show (M1-AUD UPGRADE)
Remastered without EQ from 1st generation original taper safety reel
Total Time ::: 1:23:23
Fine stereo AUD – Clearest & most glitch-free version ever! – but it ain’t hi-fi. Check samples for pleasure prognoses or crash & burn factors, or to put your keys in the ignition.
Warts: Occasional mike motion. Some dullspots missed but reduced or fixed most. Some glitches unrepairable. Some volume/high end fluctuation thruout.
NEEDS BASS – Turn it up!
Toe Fat was the opening act.
COMPARISON CLAUSE: This is a known 1st gen, remastered without EQ, & UPGRADES previously DIMED versions: “The Beat Goes On”, “Feast Away”, QuinnEZkaMo ’06. “Feast Away” had bass EQ’d in, which is nice, but this source is definitely better quality with more high end (keyboards for example!) & many problems were repaired.
Thanks to DIMER Goody, the pitch master, for his prompt & careful assistance with correction in that direction.
The show is perhaps best summed up by the voice near the taper’s microphone as “Crossroads” begins, “HEAVY!”.
Recording Information ::: Sony(?) stereo cassette recorder with unknown microphones -> master cassette, no noise reduction -> 1st generation original taper safety reel (azimuth adjusted transfer from master circa 1971). Master cassette doesn’t exist anymore as it was re-used after reel transfer. Playback circa 2008 ::: 1st generation original taper safety reel on unknown reel machine -> DVD-R WAV @ 48 kHz -> wavs.
Mastering 2013-06-xx ::: 48 kHZ WAVs in Audacity (normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment, fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch / dropout / bump / pop / click / dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, NO equalisation) -> WAV -> sent to DIMER Goody. Goody’s lineage: Switch (WAV) -> Audition (Pitch Bender -113 cents & more phase adjustment) -> WAV back to kneesfudd for final tweaking in Audacity & saved as 44.1 kHz WAV -> CD Wave (track splits) -> Trader’s Little Helper -> yer ears. A huge audio improvement after remastering. First uploaded week of 2013-06-29.
Further mastering notes: Some dull spots & glitches weren’t fixable as there was virtually no cross channel patching possible. Between trax 7&8 the taper made some noise which was been repaired & reduced, but is audible. Some clapping in track 8. Some volume wavering, particularly in track 7 – partially repaired. “Crossroads” musta suffered from tape gobble about 4 minutes in, so there are some occasional noises for about 9 seconds (I fixed what I could. It’s on all circulating copies & greatly improved here, but it’s especially noticeable on headphones). This version has more high end & is a much more pleasurable listen than the 3 circulating copies I compared it to, especially after more than a 1000 dullspot & other repairs (no kidding), it just needs a bit of bass added to the mix. I completely finished this one & then did it a second time all the way through – well worthwhile.
Line-up ::: Eric Clapton – electric guitar, vocals // Bobby Whitlock – piano, Hammond organ, vocals // Carl Radle – electric bass // Jim Gordon – drums, percussion.
Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I’m wrong, please advise & I’ll take the offending trax offline.
CoolSonics 249 with Goody assist ::: MANY thanks to the original taper & trader, the Florida Kid. ::: Corrections welcome ::: I’ve been quite pleased at the reception to my forays into the Dominos camp, so here’s a freaking fantastic performance to further the listening pleasure of those, like myself, who find this material is like green grass to a cow’s cud. Clapton delivers in absolutely stunning style. Whitlock is on fire during this show – his keyboards & vocals are extra-terrestial, soulful & sublime – definitely was tapped into the source on this evening. Man, the jamming in the last few minutes of “Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad” is so reminiscent of the Allmans. Ferocious vocals & jamming in “Tell The Truth”. A first class performance from one of the greatest rock tours the planet has yet to experience. Hopefully this raises the sound quality bar enough so it can be regurgitated & chewed repeatedly. I am seriously pleased with the results after days of work. Don’t forget to turn up the bass because I ain’t doin’ your equalisin’ for ya. It’s really great one. Enjoy!
Kudos to Zongo for life support, Lochner for mikes&more & Fast Freddie for runnin’ Video Dick’s Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace). Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing… Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin’, Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin’ my concert fires burnin’ since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin’ DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees

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.
10,000 Maniacs
Beacon Theatre
New York City, NY
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.
