Tracksplits done with CDWAV from CD cuesheets on sector boundaries


Some mastering notes:

- I had to do some doctoring to fix a few minor dropouts and balance/level problems (EG: almost all of OFF THE HANDLE where the right channel was unlistenable, also a couple parts of I'M READY with the same problem), along with the usual cassette flip splices. Hopefully I spotted/fixed everything that needed fixing. No EQ or anything like that was done to change the overall sound itself; I feel that is better left to the individual listener.

Comments:

Here's another Rory show taken direct from Frank C's master tapes. This show was just one week after the 2 Chestnut Cabaret Philly shows that I've also uploaded. If you liked those you should probably get this one too, as it has similar sound quality (I rate it slightly above average for an audience source of the time period), but a different setlist.

As far as the setlist goes this one is a shorter show (clocking in at just over two hours) but has several songs not played at the other shows. For one thing, the acoustic section has three songs instead of just two, including both BANKER'S BLUES and PISTOL SLAPPER BLUES which were not played at the Chestnut. For the electric set he plays a version of I'M READY, and the show closer NADINE has jamming parts of LITTLE QUEENIE and ROUTE 66.

Once again, thanks to Frank for taping this show and loaning me his master tapes to share with you all. Also thanks to "The Dude" for being the go-between and delivering Frank's tapes to me to work on.

Enjoy!
