| Notes | Ry Cooder August 5, 1984 Cotati Cabaret, Cotati, CA soundboard > high end desktop Sony cassette deck > master cassette (Maxell MX90 metal tape recorded with Dolby B on) transfer: JVC KD-V6 (playback, with Dolby off) > Sek'd Prodif Plus soundcard > Sound Forge 8 (normalize, fade in and out, track splits) > BIAS Sound Soap > .wav files > FLAC level 8 encoding, align on sector boundaries Recorded by Easy Ed. I, Easy Ed, was at the show with my cassette deck connected to the soundboard - this is not a multigenerational cassette received in trade years ago. This is my master soundboard cassette. disc one 1. Little Sister 2. Smack Dab In The Middle 3. Go Home, Girl 4. Speedo 5. I Wanna Ball 6. Jesus On The Mainline 7. How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live? (last few seconds missing, fade out) TRT 40:54 disc two 1. Down In The Boondocks 2. My Love Is Strange 3. If Walls Could Talk 4. Why Don't You Try Me? 5. The Very Thing That Makes You Rich (Makes Me Poor) 6. Crazy 'Bout An Automobile 7. Teardrops Will Fall Tonight 8. Down In Hollywood (end cut, fade out) TRT 44:12 Ry Cooder - guitar, mandolin, vocals Van Dyke Parks - keyboards Jorge Calderon - bass Jim Keltner - drums Bobby King - tenor vocals Willie Greene, Jr. - bass vocals Since the original recording was made with Dolby B on, which adds 10dB boost to the high frequencies, yet the playback was done without Dolby B on (which would have cut the high frequencies by 10dB) I took the liberty of applying some very slight noise (hiss) reduction using BIAS Sound Soap. If anyone wants the recording without this processing please contact me and I'd be happy to oblige. I usually am against offering original recordings with any processing but I was very light-handed here. I also recorded Ry Cooder at the Cabaret on August 4, 1984. About half the songs they did were the same. That was a separate torrent. The recording from the 5th seems to have more distortion and hiss. Oh well. Only so many Ry soundboards have been made and I'm glad to have made this one. The venue for this show was The Cotati Cabaret in Cotati, CA. It was a small club that held about 300 people. Cotati is a small town located about an hour north of San Francisco. Cotati is next to Sonoma State University, which was called Granola State University back in the days. SSU is where the great 1973 recording of Old & In The Way with Ramblin' Jack Elliott opening was made (which I and many other people have). There is a great poster of the O&ITW show, my copy of which is long gone :<( |
