Since I posted the Wyandotte Michigan show from April 13, 1994, here we have the
next night, April 14, 1994 from the Opera House in Toronto Canada.

Much of the info regarding this show is pretty much the same as the April 13 recording.
I received the show on Maxell XLII cassettes from Chris Nokes, and it appears that
the Wyandotte taper is also the taper for this show. The recording is very, very
good, but through my Sennheiser headphones, I heard some droputs and some
distortion on the loudest portions of the recording. There are no obvious glitches
on this recording. I am fairly certain this from the soundboard.

For what it's worth, I recently had an email correspondence with Pete Wibrew
(noden) where he mentioned that his version of the Toronto show runs "fast".
This version (the one I'm posting) appears to be on pitch and runs normally.
The way I do this, by the way, is to check a tune common to "most" Ozric
shows - "White Rhino Tea" which always starts out in the key of E major.
And, on this recording, it is indeed in E major.

There is a tape flip between "Jurassic Shift" and "Dissolution"; it is hardly
noticable. Like the Wyandotte show, the recording volume is low. For this
show I normalized the recording and am satisfied that, while the tape hiss
is present, the normalization did not cause it to be obtrusive. I did a
side-by-side comparison of the un-normalized and normalized versions.
The normalized version sounds much better. Other than that, no other
modifications were performed.

And, like the last few Ozric shows I've posted, the souncheck is included.
It's a short soundcheck, but lots of jamming.

Here's the lineage from those cassettes.

Maxell XLII analog cassette ==> Onkyo TA-RW344 deck ==>
Dell 8250 (Sound Blaster Live!) ==> Sound Forge 7.0 ==> FLAC Level 6

Anybody know?
