JETHRO TULL
June 12, 1994
Bucharest, Romania
Stadionul Dinamo
Outdoor Festival

This is a really good concert.
The band is in top form playing in atypical ways.
Maybe it's the two "guest" members.

This is a strange one for a number of reasons:
1 - Dave and Doane are gone. In their places are Matt Pegg (bass) and Mark Parnell (drums)
2 - The source is in doubt either TV, or video, or FM, or SB. I just don't know.
. . (see LINEAGE for details/conjecture)
3 - looks like there's 60 minutes of video from this show circulating
4 - there are cuts between most of the songs.
5 - parts of it sound like it is sourced from vinyl (clicks)
6 - after the 3rd song there is none of Ian's pithy between-song banter included
7 - therefore this concert is not complete, but it may be all that was broadcast
8 - the mix is strange and inconsistent

According to electrocutas http://www.electrocutas.co.uk/net/dvd6.htm
59 minutes of this was broadcast on TV
Maybe this recording comes (partially) from that.

Matt Pegg (Dave's son) is here substituting for his dad on bass.
Matt is a much more ROCK 'N' ROLL bassist than daddy Dave.
Listen to him on "Living in the Past". He really drives the band hard.

Here's another one that has never been on DIME before
from the land that inspired Bram Stoker...
I give you
an evening of Tull, their first performance in Romania.

This concert took place on my 36th birthday.
I wish I was there, but had a new baby, so vacationing in Romania at that time was out of the question. One can dream though...

Enjoy.

Cheers,

LINEAGE
I don't know what the source to this is.
It's not an audience capture.

Apparently at least 60 minutes of the show was broadcast on Romanian TV
This audio could be sourced from a capture of that (mic held in front of a TV),
or a VHS transfer
or maybe an FM simulcast
or maybe even a soundboard

Strangely though
there's a bit of noise (static? vinyl clicks) in TAAB and towards the end.
Later on in the recording there are clicks that sound suspiciously like vinyl.
Could this possibly (in 1994) have been pressed to vinyl?
Maybe a radio station disk for airplay in Romania.
I don't know.

The more of this I hear the more confused I get.
It's a real mystery to me.
The mix is kinda strange and inconsistent.
I don't know what that implies.


unknown source (FM/TV/SB?) > to me on cassette > digitize with Audacity > Flac 8 with xAct > to you on DIME

** I manually removed many of the louder clicks **

-------------------------------------------
SOUND QUALITY:
Strange mix.
Decent, but not great, TV/SB/FM type sound

In the sample below listen for what sound like, to me, vinyl clicks.
**I removed the nastier ones in the torrent that you are getting **

This is a weird one.

TO FELLOW DIMERS:
I offer what I have, with ALL the information known to me.
If you've got a better version, seed it.
If you have more accurate information, please add it in a comment.
If anyone would like to attempt a remastering job, go right ahead.

Let's try and keep it positive and make DIME as good an experience for all as possible.
