This was the second of two nights at BB King's, and while it was a full house, they accepted walkups most of the night for standing at the bar. This tape was made from dead center at tables and there is a lot of crowd as well as some unfortunate tape flips. Note to all tapers: DO NOT buy batteries from a random NYC Deli. The ones I bought actually ran out of juice in something like a record 50 minutes! But it was a Sunday night and everything was closed, so...

After a lot of trepidation, I decided to patch the broken songs with the circulating 2/18 recording [HEBs (DPA 4061s) > CS batt box > Edirol R-09 (line in, 24/48)]. It isn't perfect, but it is good enough for Rock & Roll. While there is a clear difference between the 2 rigs, the mics are the same, so I don't know why the recordings sound so different. The real issue is that this was night 2 and the performances are SO MUCH better than night one. A totally different feel to SSotS & AGP, both of which got patched here. Then average listener might not care, but the kids in the band sure would!


The NYC School of Rock opened the set, which started unannounced at 7pm, and some of that is included here. People at my table talked throughout that whole set so this was all I could comfortably share. Also 2 of the cats from the Long Island band Wonderous Stories played Duets between sets and I included one of their songs, too. The people at my table were REALLY into that, and I'd be embarrassed to share all their commentary.
Also in the extras folder are the raw tracks from when the batteries died, just in case someone finds an ACTUAL alternate tape...
