NB: Caveat on speed and pitch. Almost every song is paused between, as noted. This can cause the speed and pitch to vary per song. And mid song, a tune can catch up and sound better than at the start. Each song WAS carefully listened to and my thought here is NONE are too far out of whack as to be offensive. Having no comparison source, and variations throughout based on the aformentioned issues, I chose to leave most songs as they were on the original transfer. If some gifted ears out there have an issue with any tunes and would like to lend their virtuoso on making it just exactly perfect, I’d be eager to work with you. A fresh analog transfer of this soundboard source would be wonderful but this certainly suffices for now.

Total time: 40:01

Comments: Well played and vocally tight first set. Nite-nite themed second gets off clunky with a vocally miscued and forgotten Cats Under the Stars, but then cuts to the core during Mississippi Moon with the explosive dynamic range this era of JGB is capable of. The nitemarish destruction of Gomorrah presents Lot with much horror and temptation before a soothing and deep Russian Lullaby gets you nearly tucked into bed before one last hoedown under the Midnight Moonlight. Excellent audience recording with minimal intermittent audience noise and no technical artifacts detected other than tape pauses between most tracks.

Thanks to J.Powell for the CDR source.

Transfer: Maxell XL-II > Nakamichi DR-8 (Dolby off) > Audiophile 2496 >

Notes: This source is an improvement in sound quality over the currently
circulating source (ShnID-22889), with brighter sound and more consistent
levels, although there is still some hiss. Both this and 22889 have the
same eight songs, but in a different order. This version presents the songs
as they appeared on the cassette that was transferred (four per side). The
fades heard bewteen the songs (tracks 2 thru 8) were there on the cassette.
It is not clear if the cassette has the songs in the correct order as they
were performed, or if this is the entire show, or possibly a compilation…

With my THANKS to Ted Gidley for providing the tape to transfer!

Notes:

Digitally remastered using a custom built, Dual DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com. Completed on 6/14/2004.

Very light noise reduction (pure sample) applied to make the tape hiss a bit less noticeable.

Dropout at 6:04 in After Midnight and at 10:20 of Harder They Come.

Notes:
– Level adjustment made at the start of “Sugaree”
– The start of “How Sweet It Is” is slightly clipped. This wasn’t noticeable on other circulating copes as they have been faded in.
– There is a splice in “The Harder They Come” at about 10:15 which has been smoothed out.
