| Tech Notes | Sonic Youth Summersault Festival, Macquarie University Sydney Australia Sunday, December 31st, 1995 FM->DAT->TDK AD90->Cool Edit->CD-R (inc NR?)->FLAC Well I was at this gig and relied on a DAT machine attached to the radio at home to record it... I unfortunately didn't tape at the gig as well because JJJ didn't broadcast the whole show. I think they played Teenage Riot, Catholic Block and Washing Machine according to a setlist someone put up. The lineage was from DAT to cassette (DAT tapes were expensive then and there weren't cheap CD-Rs yet). I transferred this around 8 years ago to CD-R and just stumbled upon it agin my stacks of unorganised CD-Rs. There probably was some light noise reduction to remove tape hiss done at the time of the transfer. Original DAT is long gone as is the cassette so this is the best I have of this... does still sound pretty damn good. I arrived late at the festival to see the end of the Foo Fighters then Sonic Youth and then The Beastie Boys. After being out all day on a hot Sydney summer's day the audience were exhausted and roasted while I arrived all fresh.. the contrast was extreme. So in some ways I am not sure how much energy was coming off the crowd to the bands by the end of the long day. I do remember a lot of steam rising from the audience which looked very cool in the lights. Sonic Youth were great to see on a large stage, with a large PA outside. It did sound quite amazing if more open and less punishing than when I'd seen them in a small indoor venue. I have the Beastie's set somewhere which hopefully I can find. I think this is the setlist based on what I got from another website(I'm not a knowledgable enough Sonic Youth fan to be sure.) 01 - Talking 02 - Becuz (- Annoying JJJ DJ talks over the middle...) 03 - Saucer Like 04 - Bull in the Heather 05 - Starfield Road 06 - Mote 07 - Skink 08 - Diamond Sea |
