Santana
26 september 1997
Pima County Fairgrounda, Tucson AZ, USA

Lineage: 2nd generation Cassette - > Goldwave -> CD-R -> Foobar WAV extract -> TLH Flac L6 - Torrented -> you

This one came from my attic .. a few years ago, way before I had ever heard from lossless music formats or DIME, I had the wave of sense to copy the two Santana concerts I had gotten on cassette to my hard drive and burn CD-R's from them. Recently I came across them and got the idea to seed them here. Sadly.. I have lost my original wav fileset to a drive crash and my beloved spouse cleaned out the original cassettes. So, this lineage has one CD-DA extraction more than it could have gotten.

This seed is preservation only, I have not tampered with the tape flips, sound or anything since this is my first attempt ever to make an original seed and I have no idea how to fix any of that. If anyone wants to have a go, be my guest. The only reason I am seeding this is because I never saw another source for this concert out there. I'd describe the sound as good audience.. not great. I'll try to put up a few samples.

Anyone with a better source for this, please put your upgrade on DIME. ;) For those interested.. I also have the Rotterdam Netherlands 1998-10-30 concert.. if this takes off I might put that up here too.
