| Notes | Not a good Tales recording here. Gen hiss, accompanied by some deep bass overload in the first couple songs (which subsides), cheap equipment likely, and a taper that is not that focused on the task (explanation forthcoming). And what the flying F*%# were the soundmen smoking today?? Atrcocious mix for almost the first half of the show. The cymbol dominance in CTTE makes the song almost unlistenable at times. But, like all of them, a fascinating capture. Jon's not quite on his game today. He's straining to hit notes, and warbling a bit otherwise. The Ancient is excellent and probably the highlight. Though the real highlight for me is a precious conversation in the middle, subdued part of CTTE between the taper and a female friend about tripping/being high and trying to explain the sounds of the concert while in this state. Classic. I even felt like I was beginning to move to altered states. There is no Remembering on here, despite Jon's announcement that they were going to play the entire album. I doubt if it was played because only snippetts of other songs are missing, not a neatly cut entire song. Perhaps it has to do with Jon's strained voice, and Rick's extended solo. It's to be noted that on my copy, Jonathon B. spliced in RSOG from 2/8/74 where chunks went missing in this song. |
