Total Time ::: 1:20:40
NOTES ::: B,B+ quality low generation audience tape. Relatively few annoying artifacts aside from some distance & audience participation near the end. Is it for only collectors? Of course, given the amazing boards we've been blessed with. But I like the character of this show quite a bit & as the samples will show you, it's acceptable enough!
Recording Information ::: unknown mono equipment, master tape -> 1st generation tape -> 2nd generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette, Dolby B on
Playback 2011-07-13 ::: 2nd generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette on Nakamichi BX-300 cassette deck, Dolby on, azimuth & pitch adjusted (*see below), heads cleaned & demagnatized -> Tascam CD-RW900SL pro CD recorder -> CD-RW (usually no track splits) -> computer -> EAC secure -> wav file(s) -> Audacity (for fades and/or glitch & bump repair, volume adjustments, additional pitch this time around-see below, no EQ) -> CD Wave for track splits -> Trader's Little Helper -> various ears around the world.

Nothing here has ever been commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.
Thanks to the original taper, & trader (a British fella by the name of Bill I do believe!).
Corrections welcome. If the pitch is still incorrect, email me & maybe I'll get around to fixing it. I use a pitch pipe, check 3-4 songs & when in doubt compare 1-2 songs on a time-appropriate album, but sometimes I'm off. The pitch was really a problem on this one. My Nak only lowered it by 3%, but my cassette runs about 3.5% fast. So then I had to do some further pitching in Audacity. It's way better than it was! Dolby was dealt with as seemed best for playback.
Cool Sonics Series CSS-039 ::: Here's a possibly upgrade for some folks. I think it's amazing how many Byrds shows were recorded. This one is energetic - no paint by numbers effort from the band & greatly helped by the speed correction. They appear to be enjoying the evening. Looks like this hasn't been up here before, but if it has, hopefully this is an upgrade. More recordings on the way. Until Sept. 2011, I suffered from SERIOUSLY slow internet access & am fixing my ratio as fast as I can, now that I am able. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace.
Since we're gettin' older & reminiscin' is in vogue... Kudos to: Zongo for life support & Lochner for microphones & much more. A bow to Fast Freddie for running Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Dean Parrish & all those traders who housed & fed me through my music acquisition & travel years. Steppin' back to the roots - hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Ena Whisnant (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive.
Support the artists! Roger McGuinn http://www.byrds.com/
