| Notes | This is the first volume of the "Cautious Man Mixes"-a series I plan on completing showcasing Bruce Springsteen's powerful on stage performances. Originally, this was intended only for my own personal use and for a few close friends (and fellow Bruce fans), but the results came out even better than I thought they would so I thought I would offer it up here to see if there is any interest. My thoughts for the series are for it to span all of Bruce's Tours from the 1976-77 "Chicken Scratch" Years to the 2006 Seeger Sessions Band Tour. This is a very time-consuming process, so it will probably take several more months to complete. If there is enough interest, I will put up each new "volume" of the series as it is completed. My concept for this project has been several years in the making, as I hunted down the original silver CDs or lossless torrents of my favorite performances to get rid of all my various LPs, compilations, cassettes, and MP3 downloads. The songs, as well as the introductions, were chosen based on sound and performance quality, which is certainly subjective and therefore not everyone's favorite preference may be on here. The songs and their order on the discs were also NOT chosen to be representative of a "standard tour setlist" either, rather I just grouped together what I felt was thematically appropriate. Again, this is a subjective process which you may or may not agree with. Bruce comments are split into individual tracks before the songs, to isolate them from the actual song. The introductory comments before each song are not necessarily from that same performance, but rather were mixed from other sources in certain cases. This was done to get what I considered the "best" introduction Bruce did on the tour in front of what I feel is a strong performance. The entire project was mixed as a continuous performance for maximum enjoyment, rather than fade in/out before/after each track. Some very minor EQ changes were done in certain spots during the mixing/editing process to "even out" the mix as best as possible. No lossy sources were used in the making of this compilation. Whenever possible, original silver CDs were used. The master mix was done the old fashioned way, on analog equipment, which I feel gives the songs more "atmosphere" and a "warmer" sound. |
