Geetarz Comments:
This show dates to just about the midpoint of the D & D
American tour, and the day after the appearance on the
“Johnny Cash” TV show in Nashville, Tennessee.
Cross Border claims this recording is from an “unpublished
source”, with “24 bit remastering”, when it’s clearly from
the same source recording as that circulating among
collectors and on various ROIO titles such as “It’s Too
Late” (ECDR-703/704).
The difference is in the “remastering”, which can be a
touchy thing, and more of a personal preference. EQ-ing and
“remastering” (which isn’t really remastering, but I’ve given
up on that particular semantic battle) can reduce hiss and
other distractions, but they can also reduce dynamic range
and high end. I generally come down on the side against
heavy remastering, but in this particular case I have to say
I like the result, at least depending on your listening
circumstances. This release kills a lot of the hiss, but was
done quite nicely, not with an old-school EQ cut that simply
killed all the high end but with some nice hiss reduction
software, and for the casual listener, it may be an improvement.
In the end, it’s more of a personal preference, the original
source with some hiss, or the “remastered” version with less,
with a bit less overall clarity, which will depend on your own
opinion and listening situation, so just grab a track of each
and make your own choices.

“This is one of those boots best listened to with the headphones
on. Claims to be a new source that’s been remastered. What this
actually means is it’s been EQ’d to boost the limitations of
the source tape. Recording is distant and echoey, but if you’re
prepared to persevere it’s not bad so far as sound quality goes
and the perfomamce though difficult to hear at times wasn’t bad.”

The souce material is poor, with lots of hiss. There is a
private circulation of this recording among collectors (see
http://www.geetarz.org/reviews/clapton/1970-11-06-dallas.htm),
but upon comparison with headphones it seems to be of the same
generation as that used for the ECDR source and is not an
improvement, with the only minor differences being in how
and exactly where the tracks are split.
As has been written before about some D & D recordings, any
limitations of the source material are overcome by the quality
of the performance, and this will certainly be enjoyed by those
who appreciate true musianship and can overlook those flaws.
There are a couple of heavily “remastered” versions of this
in circulation, and with this sort of thing it becomes a matter
of personal preference which version one will like. So, for
those who prefer their recordings untampered, and in the best
(currently) available quality, here ya go!
