SOURCE / LINEAGE
Stereo SBD trade tape
Trade tape > Computer WAV > TLH v2.4.1 > FLAC 8 > DIME > you
Big thanks to the original taper, and to the trader (Gregg) who hooked me up with a copy.
I originally mastered this 2009-07-18.
The left channel was up higher than the right, so I dubbed this down at a 38-to-46 ratio to try to rebalance things a bit.
Beyond that, the only thing I did on the computer was place track marks before each piece.
This FLAC fileset comes from WAVs from this dub, which only needed SBE corrections in TLH; no CD-Rs or EACs.
NOTES
The venue for the show was not noted on the tape I got.
- - - -
By ear, I had always thought this was mono, tho it IS stereo; the distant clapping indicates a soundboard tape.
But it is kinda WEIRD sounding for a board tape, like perhaps it was recorded on a type I tape - clear sounding in general, but lacks highs.
The tape source sound seems to change a bit after track 12, like there was an edit there (tho I cannot "see" it on the computer).
I put a break point there at that spot.
My source tape had Natural Ball on side 1 and 2 with some intentional overlap, and I sealmessly stitched the two parts together.

The "Snakefinger's History Of The Blues, Pts. 1 & 2" tour was a total change-up.
He felt it was time for some "music from the heart", as a contrast to the disco and electronic music of the day.
The show was literally a step through time, from the roots of blues on up through to the sixties.
NONE of the tunes from his usual repertoire are present here - it's all blues.
As I understand it, "Pt. 1" was just Snakefinger on guitar or piano; "Pt. 2" was with a full band.
This show had a brief "Pt. 1" set & a nice long "Pt. 2".
If you're familiar with the official LP from this tour, you can see there's many other tunes here that couldn't fit on one LP.
And so you're probably in for a fine, fine listening session indeed.
This is the one show I have from this tour which WASN'T a venue used for the official LP, so it did not need any removals / you get it all straight up.
Snakey certainly wasn't an original bluesman, but you sure can tell he had it in his heart.
And this was a great performance.

Crank it up and ENJOY! it as I have, and share it so others can hear it.
- - - -
Filenames have numbers on the end that are the TIMES (ex. - "...-359" is 3min59sec long).
Some filenames have "QMEXQM" in the name, as "?!?" isn't allowed in names.
I mark the start of tracks when the music or count-in begins, not the talking about it before it starts.
