John Prine
14 June 1984
Civic Auditorium
Portland, Oregon

We lost Leon a year ago this week to Dementia. Then last month we lost John to this dreaded virus. The two of them did this tour together back in 1984, and I was lucky enough the gain access to the masters of a soundboard recording from this show. This is dedicated to the memory of both these great performers.

Recording: Sbd > Nakamichi 480 > Maxell UDXLII cassettes. Recorded by B.M. & R.L.
Transfer: Nakamichi Dragon > Olympus LS-10 @ 24/48 > SoundForge 9.0 > 16/44.1. Mastered by Rabork.

In mastering I added tracking, adjusted levels, eased a little feedback, disguised a couple of dropouts that existed to the master tapes, and did some noise reduction.

If any of you musicologists out there can help with the questionable titles in the Redbone set it would be appreciated.

Please enjoy but don't distribute in any inferior formats (no MPEG's, etc.) or for profit.
