I'm surprised that Jerry never used to get really pissed off at idiots like that. I had to laugh when one of them screamed for "Eyes Of The World"!!! This same jerk begged Jerry to let him up on stage with him. But it is still a very enjoyable show from start to finish, with one exception: there were a couple of boys (I won't go as far as to call them "men") who, between songs, kept yelling (and very loudly close to the on-stage ambience microphones) for a couple of songs. I believe it was the FM station's mix of the 4-track feed, not the venue's that made it sound this way. Keith is in the left channel, Donna in the right, Maria in the left, and Jerry (as always), center. Technically, I wish the show was mixed a little better, as it's close to being mono, but there is separation. You know what to expect (it's not 100% perfect, but it's 95% excellent, and that's very good in any engineer's book!) as far as the "sound quality" goes, so let's move on to the show itself. I chalk this up to poor storage of the original master reels of the show at the FM station (it's a small station, and doesn't have a "proper storage facility".Įnough of the technical stuff. The only problem is there is a slight amount of low-volume "tick" noise about once per song. There isn't any of the diginoise I encountered on the original copy I received, so editing was a snap. Ok, so why did I release this show? Given the fact that my Marin County source sent me the MASTERS of the 3/19 show of the following night, I thought it would be nice to release these as a "pair", because of the run involved. I may be wrong, but when you hear this show, I think you will agree! were continuous, and as much as I tried, I could not find anywhere where these 2 songs would have "gone". The applause, the 3 idiots yelling for songs, etc. between Simple Twist Of Fate and Midnight Moonlight. On the master I received, there is NO splice/edit/gap/etc. This show's reels were directly recorded onto the cassette, and I as told that the two "missing songs" (Mystery Train and I Second That Emotion) were NOT played during the rebroadcast (DAMN!). While the actual show took place on 3/18/78, this re-broadcast was done on the next day (Sunday) starting at 1 PM EST. This version was a direct-to-cassette of the "re-broadcast" FM radio station's RTR of the show. Not as "compressed and limited", and with the original Dolby B left encoded. Yes, I know it's been a short time since this show was originally released, but the radio station sent me a slightly better copy to work with, for which I'm thankful. The "Mission In the Rain" unfortunately fades out, leaving out the killer climatic ending power-chord strumming jam.Īs with all SSSB seeds, tracks are not cut on sector boundaries.
