| Media | CDR 2 discs |
| Notes | DVD 3337; lineage: Recorded and mastered by Audioarchivist U - 101 using Sony WM D3 Professional Recording Walkman Dolby B record and it's original PC-62 stereo microphone stuck in my hat. Taped from the sweet spot FOB in semi-binaural ambient stereo. Playback on Denon DRM 500 deck no Dolby playback with azimuth adjusted to match individual tape head alignment through Sentrek analog EQ for warmth and life into Toshiba laptop running Wavelab 3.0 for minor editing (fade in/out through overlapping disc flip segments). Burned to audio CDR twice, and original data lost. I shoulda saved the data, but still own the master tapes! No plans for a ReMaster from originals until technology improves. Ripped with EAC secure mode after discs were given a good cleaning>Trader's Little Helper FLAC8>torrent |
| J-Card Comment | Included are some scans of tickets other stubs, my master cassettes, original tape and disc covers. I went scan crazy, I hope you don't mind. I wanted to give the feeling that you all have the same copy of these that I have, and as a backup in case I were to (heaven forbid) lose anything, I could get it all back. Galen: "I am rather surprised by the overall quality of this recording. The limitations of the technology are apparent, more so in regards to the microphones, but that fact does not detract from the experience. Until late 2005, this source was not even known to exist until the taper torrented this & his 11/07/2001 recording. For those that are interested in at the very least average recording (sound quality) from 1996 matched with a very good performance from this era, this recording certainly needs to grace your ears. The performance (and for that matter capture) of Third Eye from this show is one of my personal favorites." - from CollectiveConscious.org Audioarchivist: "Don't be surprised! The PC-62 Sony stereo condenser mic isn't THAT bad! What made the sound bad was the cruddy venue. I'm surprised it sounds as good as it does for the echo chamber from hell it was recorded in! I've recorded several shows in that building, and they all sound wah-wah-wonky wash of reflected sounds. It's a big long badass barn-like building. Think 2 small arenas joined end-to-end - concrete and steel and ugly wood. Horrible acoustics. A stunned and confused audience. Shock and awe! I honestly went expecting nothing, and I was absolutely blown the fuck away!" Maynardism: "You guys were worst crowd to an opening act that we've ever seen! We like the Cows, that's why we brought them along" |
