the volume was hard limited by 4db and hiss reduction has been perfromed.


the taper responsible for this show is deceased and the master's location remains unknown
nothing fancy was used to record this show. it was just a standard recorder of the day using the internal mics.
the quality is what you'd expect using basic period equipment. the source said the taper recorded
this one up front, with the recorder laying on the table. the taper stopped and started the tape several
times due the to technical difficulties on the stage. there were a couple of other start and stops, but
it doesnt sound like any music is missing from these portions. however, at the end of the tape, one hears the mc
say they'll be "back in 15." there was no more music, just the mc telling the bar to go home.
the show ended at approximetly 2:45am.
overall, this has a pretty good mix and most of it comes acrosswell on this tape.
considering the age of the tape and the equipment, would grade this a 6-7/10

this 1st generation tape comes from a friend of the taper and he is thrilled to share his copy.
there were also some original notes listing the songs, the musicians, and who sang what song.
the taper would have loved to know that others are enjoying his tapes as he never saw his tapes being listened
to by anyone except him and a couple of friends. had he known how easy it was to do then it may
have given him some incentive to still be with us and share the memories himself.
