18th Mar 1973
|
Date/venue:
1973 March 18 - The Palace Theater, Waterbury, Connecticut,
USA / or Radio City Music Hall, NY, USA (scheduled date: 1973-03-17
- 1:00am night show)
Tape Labeled: 1973 March 18 - The Palace Theater, Waterbury,
Connecticut
Generation: 4th (mabe even 5th / not 3rd as formerly
stated)
cassette label = Maxell XL II High Position 90x2
transferred by me (sara) from borrowed cassette tapes, with
many thanks to T.!
transfer1 on December 2004 / transfer2 on May 2005
my playback deck = Philips (FCD485), my audio card = Sound
Blaster Live recorded into HD via CD WAVE.
Comparing the transfers:
transfer1 : This sounded pretty nice but the left channel
turned out much less amplified so I re-balanced it a bit from
the stereo, sound quality was comparable but not better than
the previous version in circulation known as cass[3]>cdr.
transfer2 : This time the transfer turned out great, I changed
deck (same stereo / doubledeck) and I set the equalizer in
the "classic" position, the sound definition (especially on
the vocal parts) surpassed amazingly not only my previous
transfer but also the cass>MD version around before, I just
love it!!
did nothing on the above transfers, the tape has some tics
native on the original tape that I didn't remove.
NB: I got this tape as "low gen" as it actually is,
although this tape was believed to be a 3rd generation copy
from the masters for some time. Recent resarches revealed
it to be not lower than 4th (likely right 4th or 5th gen).
This tape was previously transferred to MD and then from the
MD to CD and was around labeled actually "from 3rd gen" for
some time, that lineage has to be corrected as: "likely 4th
gen>MD>CDR" ... there's of course some 3rd Gen copy of the
master around but not this tape.
DATE/VENUE IS STILL IN QUESTION (this particular recorder
was labeled originally either as 1973-03-18 or 1973-03-18
RCMH, relabeled as Waterbury in the late 80s)
(notes from YGBC)
Until now, I have been dis-satisfied with every version of
this show from the various recorders, but this recording for
once, is great, lots of high frequencies, nice and clear and
for once a great show to listen to. This is definately the
best version so far of this concert, forget the rest. There
are truly amazing versions of Set the Controls and
Careful with that axe Eugene included in this show,
introducing special effects like I have not heard before in
these songs.
Remaster Notes:
One of the worse case of tics was found in Set The Controls,
it's sometimes easy to move just one tic, but when there are
so many it can take ages. To me the tics and gaps are like
having a scratch on a vinyl record, if it can be removed then
it will sound a lot better. I have literally spent hours just
repairing Set the Controls, but it will have been worth it
because now it sounds fantastic without all those tics. However
some were impossible to remove (or find), and others reduced
from a sharp click to a dull click so that it is less noticeable.
All this is extremely rewarding when completed, as when finished
the music will sound much better without all those tics. Also
any "zzup" noises found, due to tape turns have
been removed so that the music flows seamlessly. I always
keep the original discs before remastering if you really want
to hear all the tics! |
