Bob Marley & The Wailers   10/28/1979

The Apollo Theater, New York, NY
Source SBD > ? > CDRx > EAC > FLAC
Media CD-R   1 disc
Notes Closing night at the Apollo, an amazing run of seven
shows in four days. The whole night accompanied by a fantastic horn section,
the band performs a unique show that's one of their best. Several tremendous
moments await. Undoubtedly, the Carly bassline and the fine horns, the rhythms
will take you on good travels.
Tech Notes Flaws:
Some hiss and buzz, probably from a cassette generation. There's also a
bit of distortion due to the analog generational losses. 11 hits on Etree,
10 on Phishook, none lossless, only cd-da. This is a secure EAC extraction
with logs included. The source is indefinite, but is free of lossy compression
or noise reduction. The buzz/hiss could potentially be remastered to a much
lower volume, as there are two extended periods of only noise between songs,
nearly 10s without applause. Okay. Feel Bob's spirit. Lord I thank you.
