This is something picked up in a share here in 2011 from Maxine. Michaelmee also shared this in 2016. Thanks to each of them. After a decade's absence, it seems that it's worth giving this another run. As others have pointed out, there are several short digital glitches in parts of Hippetyville. I've generally been able to fix digi-glitches, but not so with this show. They were a bit too closely packed in the spots where they occured, but it's otherwise a fine sounding show, and you can generally listen to that otherwise good sounding track without going too crazy.
I contacted a few folks to see if the glitches were there in versions they had, and the answer, unfortunately, was yes. Waterwheel (Christoph) did, however, come through with a version that included an encore of Someone to Watch Over Me, that wasn't on any of the other versions. His version also had Hippetyville shortened to cut in closer to the end of Abercrombie's guitar solo, and proceed from there without the worst of the glitches. Therefore, the 2026 version "you'll be getting here takes that "new" encore, and shorter Hippety from Waterwheel's version, and tacks them on to what had run here before from Maxine and Michaelmee. That 2nd Hippety from Waterwheel will come in at the end of the program in this torrent.
Waterwheel's version was a bit sonically different from what I had, so tools from Audacity were used to try to match it up to what I'd had on hand from those earlier DIME shares. I'm not sure about the source info for Waterwheel's material, beyond it being FM, but it had sounded a bit rougher, which is why that entire share isn't being offered. michaelmee had included much more extensive source info, which also seemed to relate to the Maxine version, and that's pasted in below from the dimebot archive.
Around the time of this Aarhus date, Abercrombie had released a Trio album with Erskine and Johnson called Current Events. Hippetyville came from that, and he'd soon release another record called Getting There, which included Michael Brecker, along with Erskine and Johnson. Samurai Hee Haw, originally heard with Bass Desires, was also on Getting There. Abercrombie had joined in with a bit of a trend among his fellow guitarists in the mid 80's of checking out and using guitar synthesis, so you'll hear that here. Be sure to check the samples below. The first is a clean and clear section from the Bass Desires track, and another will showcase what came over from Waterwheel. The final sample will come from a digi-glitch section of Hippetyville to highlight the down side of that track. If anyone does have the music from this particular date in better quality, please do share it.
Finally, thanks again to those who'd shared this before on DIME, and to Waterwheel for the help with putting together the ingredients for this new one (and providing that extra music from the show too).
