"Elvis Costello and Friends"
featuring Jerry Garcia, James Burton, Nick Lowe, Bob Weir, Kim Wilson, Charles Brown, Commander Cody, Sammy Hagar, Annie Sampson, Austin deLone and many others!
April 24, 1989
Sweetwater
Mill Valley, California, USA

Village Music was a little record store in Mill Valley California and its owner, John Goddard, threw a lot of great anniversary parties at the tiny nearby club, The Sweetwater. This show is full of cool one-of-a-kind performances. This is the soundboard audio from a very decent quality two camera shoot. This is likely to be an upgrade over everything that has previously circulated from this show. The first half is sourced from the VHS Hi-Fi "dubbing master" audio and the second half is from a Dat master. (The Dat tape of the first half of the show is missing but the audio quality is similar on the VHS Hi-Fi.)

Lineage: Two TDK HD-XPro T-120 VHS tapes. There are a few video breaks for approximately 20 seconds each which were replaced with color bars. The audio is seamless with the first half from the VHS Hi-Fi soundtrack and the rest from a Dat master. A few seconds have been spliced in from an alternate downloaded soundboard source. Since all the breaks start between songs, very little of the music is missing as the video masters change tapes.

Transfer: Sony WV-DR7 > Sony DVMC-DA2 Media Converter (DV Hardware Codec Converter) > Final Cut Pro > Pro Tools (minor "nip and tuck" edits and normalization. No noise reduction or equalization).
