OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was my 1st and only ZZ Top concert. The security was really heavy at this show. They were even searching people coming into the main gates of the fairgrounds, not just the grandstands. Fortunately I had a work pass because my father-in-law (at the time) was working the Democratic booth at the fair and he had an extra pass. So it not only saved me the fair admission charge but I lucked out because they were not searching the work entrance. I was dreading the rowdy drunk crowds that the fair seems to attract but this show was pretty good. We were right behind the board in the first row of the risers. The floor seems to be the craziest. What we missed out on SPL from close proximity to the PA we made up with a quieter crowd.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was a stealth recording because the fairgrounds would NOT allow a recording to be made, even though the band allowed it. I purchased tickets that were directly under the left PA stack, as the crowds at the fair shows are usually drunk and unruly. This was the night that Dickey went to the hospital midway through the set so the band had to improvise with lots of long drawn out jams. You got the feeling the band was really flying by the seat of their pants after Dickey was taken away. It was like, ‘OK guys, NOW what do we do?’ The show must go on! I believe that my recording was the only one made that night. I’ve never seen another source for this show, and most of the tapers were still in Colorado for the ABB Red Rocks shows that had just taken place the previous weekend. As usual, the Mid State Fair crowds were drunk and obnoxious. (I wanted to be as close to the PA stacks as possible!) I used the omni capsules because I had the microphones hidden in a Levi jacket with just the capsules protruding from the front pockets, and they were pointing straight up. (There was really no way to ‘aim’ them’ so proximity to the PA was key.) This was my standard stealth set up at the time. The jacket had holes sewn into the bottom of the front pockets and I used hollowed out 35mm film can lids that went around the microphone bodies to keep the weight of the microphones from falling through the pockets. Custom shortened XLR >RCA cables were used to link with a standard RCA >Mini Y cable that ran into the mic input on my D7.

LB-3195, (79min+69min+22min), Off Master – Possibly New Source

This is one of the shows recorded by Russ Cansler that I received strictly for the purpose of digitizing and posting at dime THANK YOU RUSS!, Equipment Used Realistic Pzm’s and a Sony wmD6-C Right Side Of Stage, There is some audience noise in the tape, listen to a sample to find out if you want to grab it. I know my old copy didn’t have the Petty set so this source was a new addition for me. I did not use any EQ or fancy editing. This is an exact replica of the master tape for the purists out there., Notes:, Last show of the 1986 tour and I believe it’s the only live version of Brownsville Girl, Tape Flip at End Of Think About Me, When The Night Comes Falling has the end CUT because of tape ending, Rainy Day Women has the end CUT because of tape flip, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door is just the beginning before the vocals INCOMPLETE track, Tonight Might Be The Night may be the incorrect title.. I dunno; bittorrent download 09/05; good to very good sound [B-]; very close to mono; cdr tracking numbers were not specified in the info file so ones were chosen that did not break up a song since placing cdr breaks logically by petty sets ending resulted in splitting songs since they are not always tracked right at the beginning of a song; background talking d2t12

Soundcheck Only

LB-5123

Complete circulating soundcheck. Track numbering preserved from the original fileset, which included other material, just in case anybody’s ready to join in seeding. The track IDs have been improved from the originals (I hope), but the flacs are unchanged.

This might be the best-sounding soundcheck in my ongoing series of Dylan arcana, nearly as good as quite a few of the 1986 audience concert tapes, and is one of the most interesting (even though “Brownsville Girl” never delivers the goods, or much audible Dylan). No, there may not be much in terms of lead Dylan vocals, but the material is interesting and the performances solid. “Brownsville Girl” is pretty much the same arrangement (repeated chorus only!) used for the song’s one-and-only live “performance,” at this show. “Maggie’s Farm,” which Dylan launches into after the band riffs on “I Want You,” never turned up in any of the 1986 Dylan/Petty concerts, but it turns up, remarkably enough, as the opening song in their next appearance together, in September 1987 in Tel Aviv. “Shake”, like “Maggie’s Farm” part of the Dylan/Petty 1985 Farm Aid set, is a little known set of Dylan lyrics that never reached a final form, set to a tune very much like Roy Head’s “Treat Her Right”; it had disappeared from the Dylan/Petty playlist after a few airings in Australia earlier in the year. These two songs offer an unexpected preview of the 1987 “Temple In Flames” concerts, looser than most of the “True Confessions” tour and probably more fun as well. If you remember the Rolling Stone article about the early 1986 Dylan/Petty rehearsals and studio sessions that held out so much promise that was never delivered — this is a little window into what probably was going on then, that we’ve never had a chance to hear. Nothing revelatory, but Dylan relaxing and just making music is usually more interesting than Dylan forcing himself to deliver. If, as he said in an interview (or was it Chronicles), he’d lost the ability to perform naturally onstage by the mid-1980s, he could still do it when the audience wasn’t there.
