True West
Berkeley, USA
November - 16 - 1983

Audience tape of unknown generation received in a trade back in the 80's


Rec. Info:
Cassette of unknown generation -> transfer via Onkyo tapedeck TA-2330 -> Magix Music Cleaning Lab (remaster/edit) -> FLAC (44,1 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo) -> DIME
The sound of this tape is quite nice for an audience recording from 1983. I would rate it as Vg+/Ex- (I lifted the treble a bit).
This tape seems to have not been on dime before.


An interesting early show from the band in a decent sound. This is obviously not the full show as there is a cut after "Steps To The Door" and the next song cuts in somewhere in the middle.
Hard to say if there were more songs (normally they played much longer sets) and if yes, how many songs are missing in between.
Also at the end, right after "1969" there is an announcer giving the band's name and some other words fading at the end.

Tape length 41:21 min.
