INFO
Joe Maloney's first stealth concert recording. (Actually, back then security did not
stop him from entering w/recording equipment, so I really can't call it "stealth").
At Joe's request, I left in the crowd reaction to the power cutoff (mostly for
Morrison's reacting to the show being stopped).
The transition from tape 1 to tape 2 (during the intro to Mystery Train) involved a change
of tape brands (Scotch 290 -> Sunset 600) & seemed to produce a drop in recording quality.
Tape 2 also seems to have many gain changes as part of the recording process. Not bad for
a first attempt at recording live music, especially having to flip tape & thread a 3 in. spool of
tape in the middle of a concert crowd.
Recorded on a 1968 RCA portable reel to reel model YLS 15B at 3 3/4 ips, using
an external microphone. Original 3" reels were transferred to a Mac DAW using a Wollensak
T-1500 reel to reel recorder (approx. 45 yrs old). The analog signal was first run through: a) a
SAE 2800 parametric equalizer to bump the highs slightly; & b) a Phase Linear Autocorrelator
to remove hiss. Lo Cut filter on Mackie 1402-VLZ used to remove hum & grunge below
75 Hz (-18 db/octive). Bias Deck used to splice tape flips & even out volume levels. Bias Peak
again used to transfer SDII files to WAV files for shn compression. xACT used to fix SBEs
& encode to SHNs.
