John Lee Hooker is on tracks 1-8 and 13-15.
John Cipollina is on tracks 10-12 (and maybe on 15 but he doesn't take any solos)
A scan of my ticket to the show is included in the torrent.
This is definitely not the whole show. Track 1 fades in - who knows what was played before that song? Track 8 sounds like the end of the set and track 9 sounds like the beginning of the encores. At the end of track 15 there is less than a second of the beginning of another song, but what is offered here is all I captured that night.
Audience recording by Easy Ed. Crappy little Sony stereo mike that sold for under $100 placed on the roof of the bathrooms, left side of the club (facing the stage) about midway back in a club that held maybe 200-250 people > Sony D6 cassette recorder Sony UX-PRO90 cassette (Dolby B on)
Transfer by Easy Ed: Sony TC-K71 (Dolby off) > Presonus Firepod > firewire > PC > Sound Forge 8 (24 bit, track, normalize to peak levels, change bit length, export to .wav files) > .wav files > FLAC level 8 encoding align on sector boundaries. Not burned to cdr - no EAC.
Recording with Dolby B boosts high frequencies by 10dB. Playing back with Dolby B cuts high frequencies by 10dB. But Dolby circuits vary from machine to machine and I didn't hear any tape hiss that seemed to need reducing so I transferred this with Dolby off, which resulted in a little extra brightness to the recording, which I deemed acceptable.
