Notes:
This is #13 of the Stonecutter Archives. I was lucky enough to head to Stonecutter’s home in NY in April of 2017 where I met up to talk shop and go through some of his tapes. I took a boatload of tapes home to transfer and post here to DIME. My intention was to get through these all pretty quickly. Well… Life gets in the way and other things to where these have sat on my hard drive for almost 3 years. Now, there is no excuse while my schooling is on hold for the foreseeable future. I’ve got a bunch of tapes to post here and I hope these tapes will help someone out during this time just enjoy some good music. Stay safe everyone.

Stonecutter and Gene both have been taping for quite awhile and some of Gene’s masters are in Stonecutter’s collection as backups on cassette. Sometimes the master DAT has been misplaced. I believe this is the case for this Cure recording you see here. I got the cassette copy dubbed as “Cure Radio City DM1.” It can be confirmed with the diginoise that is during Plainsong. I am not sure if this is one of those instances that the master DAT has been lost. But this may be the only copy remaining of this recording. No encore break 1, as I assume the DAT was paused. But Encore 2 crowd noise was left intact. I have talked with Gene and he said that during the DAT days in the late 90’s it was definitely CSBs that were used for these recordings. Looking at some of the Cure recording source guides, there is some confusion with the equipment and taper info. With confidence, I can say this is accurate. Tape absolutely smokes and the setlist is nasty. I loved listening back to this one.

Thanks to Stonecutter for allowing me to take a few of these tapes to transfer and share to all, and Gene for taping the show. It has been fun working on these tapes for everyone to enjoy. I promise more are on the way.

Also, I am looking for any Nine Inch Nails recordings that are not on the NIN Live archive over at ninlive.com. If anyone can help me out finding new sources, I would love to have them. Especially some European shows. Thank you.
