RM's Giant Live Music Archive (2/5) FLAC / 0 View   KLOS-FM simulcast (Z043)
Notes: Broadcast on 95.5 KLOS-FM in Los Angeles and simulcast with ABC TV "In Concert" over 4 weekends. This is the stereo FM Simulcast. My tape is a bit worn and my receiver was never the best quality, but it's not real bad quality either. The antenna was re-positioned during (part 1) Seals and Crofts "Fiddle" song and again during Rare Earth's song "Big Brother". Trying to get better reception but ending up with some momentary break up. The first few minutes of tape 2 are slightly worn out but gets better (it was my car tape). Sourced from my "off the air" master reels (and 1 first generation back-up cassette becuse the reel vanished many years ago). Equipment info: Fisher Receiver > Dokorder Reel-to-Reel @ 3 3/4 ips on Ampex tape ( > Sony TC-160 w/ no Dolby) > Phase Linear 1000 > Sony DTC-690 @ 16/48 Sony DTC-690 > Hard Drive (via toslink) > Audacity (editing and conversion to 16-44) > CD Wav > Flac (Level 8)
