Miles Davis Quintet
07-27-1957
Café Bohemia
New York, New York

Project ID - LL6

Source: FM Broadcast
Lineage: Mutual Network radio broadcast > Unknown Transfer(s) > ??> wav> flac

Miles Davis (tpt); Sonny Rollins (ts); William "Red" Garland (p); Paul Chambers (b);
Arthur Taylor (d); Guy Wallace (ann); Bill Coss (guest)

disc 1

d1t01. Introduction > Bye Bye Blackbird > Tune Up/
d1t02. / Tune Up
 
-------------------------------------------------------

Notes:

- A fine performance, unfortunately with a voice-over guest interview, this recording
exhibits some low-level line hum as well as minor crackling and popping with a periodicity
that indicates vinyl in the lineage. Spectral analysis shows some type of hiss reduction
was applied at some point in the lineage, but some hiss remains throughout the audio spectrum.

- d1t01. Analysis shows 3 clipped digital samples in this track

- d1t01. Interview voiceover with Bill Coss begins at 8:33.500 with music continuing
in background. Track ends in the background complete very close to 9:16.000 while
interview continues.

- "Tune Up" fades in at around 9:34, still in the background of the
voiceover interview, missing the first few bars.

- This source is missing Foggy Day. Peter Losin has this listed at the end of the set.

-d1t02. The voiceover ends at about 0:08 and "Tune Up" is amplified back
into the foreground.

Fly Me to the Moon Saloon - Telluride, CO

Source: SBD > Cass/1 > DAT
Transfer: Tascam DA-20mkII > ZA2 > SF4.5 > CDWav > SHN

Transfer by Jimmy Sellers (pjimmy@delanet.com)
Fixes by Ben Mohr (bmohr@udel.edu)

-----------------------------------
 Disc 1:                   (30:54)
-----------------------------------
[Freebird (see notes)]
-Set IIp-
1. I Know a Little         (03:19)
2. You Enjoy Myself        (16:43)
3. Jesus Just Left Chicago (10:52)

-----------------------------------
 Disc 2:                   (62:04)
-----------------------------------
-Set III-
1. //Peaches en Regalia >  (02:56)
2. Mike's Song ->          (12:17)
3. I Am Hydrogen           (02:59)
4. Fluffhead               (15:32)
5. Happy Birthday/banter   (01:21)
6. Harry Hood              (14:25)
7. Satin Doll              (04:55)
8. Funky Bitch             (05:58)
9. Walk Away//             (01:41)

Notes:
-I choose not to do any hiss reduction since the hiss level is pretty low and I would
  prefer not to do any unneccessary resampling.  If you feel otherwise, go ahead.
-According to "The Phish Companion", the venue is often mislabeled The Roma
-JJLC is definitely the end of the second set as Mike? states, "We're gonna take one
  more short break" after YEM, but then Trey says, "We're gonna do one more song" so
  they begin JJLC.
-At the end of Satin Doll, the band is trying to decide what song to play and an audience
  member yells out "Freebird" which the band and some other audience members respond,
  "We/they did it already."  So, I'm guessing that Freebird was played earlier in the
  show.
-Walk Away is definitely the end of the show since Trey starts yelling, "Last call!"
  and bantering about tipping a bartender before Walk Away.
-Tape flips:
  d1t02 13:32
  d2t04 10:14
  d2t08 end

Fixes:
-Applied SF4.5 pitch shift of +30 cents w/ anti-alias filter to compensate for low pitch
-Removed digizap in d1t01 1:17.866-1:17.898 (0.032 sec)
-Minimized diginoise in d2t03 1:10-1:12 -- still present though (on all known copies -
  I asked all dat traders that I found to have this show to check their copy)

Jackson Browne & David Lindley
The Garage
Bergen, Norway
March 21, 1997

EX+ quality stereo soundboard recording.
Lineage: Sony TC-D10 Dat Master > Panasonic 3700 (clone).
Transfer (grner1 - 2017-07-03): > Panasonic 3700 (SPDIF digital output) > Pro Tools (minor seamless fixes and tracking on sector boundaries - no EQ or noise reduction) > .wav files > xACT (tagged Flac level 8 files).

Notes: I've had this Dat clone since shortly after the show date but was only given permission to share it recently after David Lindley had left us all (RIP!).  The suggested switch point for burning CDRs is before track 11. There was a little bit of minor diginoise in a few spots which was cleaned up manually to be barely noticeable. Please support the artists and live venues any way that you can. Enjoy and SHARE!

01. "intro"
