Late Show

Two source audience matrix.

As part of the May 1996 EC and Steve Nieve short tour of the US, the pair played two shows on May 22 at the small Supper Club in Manhattan. This is the Late show. A two source audience matrix. Excellent sound. Excellent show. A looser show than the May 22 Early Show or the May 26 East Hampton Show. From the DAT masters. This is a brand new matrix version created from the Original DATs Oct 2008. Cool JohnE artwork included.

I had two sources for this show, both good. JB recoding was clearer, but Lorenzo recording had more stereo separation. The sum sounded better that the parts, so that is what I did. A version of the JB Recording the only previous version circulated that I know of. Many imperfections on that version have been repaired in this version.

To the Dime Mods. This is the 11 pm Late Show - not the Early Show. The Early Show was the FM broadcast that tracks were pulled from for the Live Costello and Nieve box set. This is a different show. No tracks from this show are on the box set.

Source 1 - Sony ECM 959>Sony D7 DAT. Recorded by JB.
Source 2 - Sonic Studios Mic>Sony D8 DAT. Recorded by Lorenzo.

Both Recordings>ProTools (for matrixing, eq, level adjustment, compression, and song separation)>flac.

Matrix/Mastering by JB. Artwork by JohnE. Don't sell or convert to lossy format. Please, no mentions in the comments ID'ing those responsible for these recording/uploads.
