Bonnie Raitt
August 5, 1986 (1986-08-05)
The Catalyst
Santa Cruz, California

Recorded, mastered and first shared by grner1.
Nakamichi CM300 (cp-1 cardioid) microphones > Sony TC-D5M (2 x Maxell MX90 cassettes, Dolby B encoded).
Transfer (2023-11-19): Nakamichi Dragon (Dolby B decoded) > Sound Devices MixPre-6 II @ 32bit(float)/96kHz > Pro Tools (normalize, minor seamless fixes, tracking on sector boundaries and down-sampling - no EQ or DNR) > WAV files > xACT (tagged Flac level 8 files).

The quality is OK but there is quite a bit of audience noise between songs and it changes some as I tried to get away from the chatter.

Notes: The suggested switch point for burning CDRs is before track 12. Thanks to Randall Kane, the now deceased owner of the Catalyst, for supporting the music there for so long and to Catalyst sound man Roger Buffalo for allowing access to so many shows over the years. Here’s a link to the trailer for a documentary about the Catalyst that was released in 2010 that includes an interview bit with Randall and gives a bit of an idea of what it was like at The Catalyst back in those days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2Y_ZmcdhO0
