Excellent audience recording of a great show
Lineage: WM-D3 Cassette Rec > Cool Edit wav > Adobe Audition1.5 for tracking out > Flac frontend > Flac (from the original audio tape)
Overall, an excellent audience recording of a great show... Yeah, there are minor problems - The recording level rises during track 1, and there is definitely crowd noise. HOWEVER...the record level is extremely high with NO clipping - perfect! And the music drowns out the crowd except when it gets soft. I truly believe both situations to be negligible in light of the show itself. Speaking of which:
Of the 3 Florida shows from this line-up - all good - this show was head and shoulders above the rest IMO, based on being at all of them and recording all of them. Besides things like bass solos, which I can live without, the tracks are excellent throughout - all strong versions!
"Soul Serenade" from this show is one of my all-time favorite cuts from Mick's solo career, yet this is Bobby's moment of the show! Sure, MT is indeed GREAT during this, and creates one of MY favorite blues solos, BUT Bobby is absolutely SOARING here. I can't overstate this. In it's entirety, this is the BEST bobby Keys I've ever heard bar none. Believe me, I went to hear the guitar player, not the sax!
I chose this as my first seed because of the names involved, the sound quality, show strength, and the belief that there is no other recording source for this show. I pray that I'm right.
I further pray that my first seeding attempt actually works for goodness sakes. If not, then what's a little embarrassment in front of THOUSANDS of peers?
If this attempt flubs, then I'll keep trying until it works - I gotta get my share ratio out of the basement.
I'd like to hear comments from anybody that gets this.
