| Tech Notes | 28-Apr 1968, The Grande Ballroom, Detroit, MI - Early Show (aka 10 Apr 1968) FZShows: 70 min, SBD, B (only 60 minutes and, hey, I would rather better this tape!) Mr. Green Genes, Hungry Freaks Daddy, America Drinks And Goes Home, King Kong, Handsome Cabin Boy/Wedding Dress Song/Dog Breath/Little House I Used To Live In, Status Back Baby, Orange County Lumber Truck Medley (q: Oh No) From traded audio cdr (charles ulrich) From Charles: "I got 4/10/68 Detroit from the Duke of Prunes in 1998. My understanding is that he did the transfer himself. I don't know the lineage of his cassette". Thanks Charles for the cdr and the info. Ripped with Eac, edited with cooleditpro (gap removing and speed correction, ratio 95.287, something less than a semitone). Retracked with shntool. 01 Green Genes 10:06 02 Hungry Freaks Daddy 3:40 03 America Drinks 2:05 04 King Kong 9:10 05 Impro 4:24 06 Medley (Handsome Cabin Boy - Wedding Dress Song - Dog Breath - Little House) 6:42 07 Status Back Baby 4:25 08 The Orange County Lumber Truck Medley 17:15 Total length 57:48 Notes: It's just my imagination or something is missing from the begin of Hungry Freaks? The more remarkable flaws of this tape are a little skip at about 38 sec of Green Genes followed by some drop outs on the left channel. Note also, during the pause before the Lumber Truck medley, a noticeable change in sound that will persist until the end of the tape. I've found all the characteristics noted above in each and every one of the 10 versions of this show that I've checked. More notes This show was usually know as 10 april. Ulrich's gig list gives as correct date 28 april. That day there were two Mothers shows, this is the early one (check the end of the tape). ----- Thanks to Flambay who taught me the basics of speed correction. I hope I didn't made a mess out of it. ------ This version brought to you by amnesiavivace. Nov 2005 |
