"One Big Victory" - created by fans for the fans - free trade only - not for sale!

Here is a monitor mix (mono) from the Vapor Trails tour. Monitor mixes are sent wirelessly to each band member, who listen through an earpiece. It's not clear to me if the source is directly from the soundboard or if it was intercepted by a scanner, but my best guess is the latter. While the sound is mono (indicative of scanners), the sound is consistently clear and fuller than I'd expect from a scanner source. Regardless, this is an absolutely superb recording of Rush on their Vapor Trails tour. The original source has been remastered and the new sound is very clear with nice depth and punch. While the low end isn't nearly as bottomless as "Rio" you can hear every detail here (including Geddy's impromptu cough in the first verse of "Limelight"). One of the nice things about this show is the band were playing their "B" setlist, which included "Between Sun And Moon", "Vital Signs", "Ceiling Unlimited" and the Monty Python break at end of "Big Money" (instead of The Simpsons). If you're looking for a great sounding show from this tour, definitely check this out!  - Ant

These files are a direct transfer from the master cassette made by Luke McCormick at Barnard Springfest on Friday, April 14, 1989.  This is a significant improvement over SHNID # 13921, which is a C(2) version of the same recording.

The tape captures Blues Traveler as its career was taking off.  The band had been playing for a while with members of Dreamspeak and the Spin Doctors at a Columbia fraternity, Delta Phi, and was playing local clubs like Nightingales, Mondo Perso, 712 Club, and Wetlands (opened February 1989), as well as free concerts in Prospect Park and at local colleges (RealityFest at SUNY Albany was the following day, the 15th). 

The taper, a member of the Phi and friend of the band, decided to "matrix" the SBD and AUD feeds by recording each to a separate channels, but this resulted in a 12 ms delay between channels.  This delay is audible and present in all other circulating recordings.  Here, the delay has been removed and each mono feed mixed to stereo.  (From the start through Rock Me Baby, the SBD feed was barely present and thus the first two tracks are mostly AUD.)

Hal,

I quite enjoy your comments on these tapes and how you have gone about fixing/improving some of the issues you describe. That must be very labor intensive on occasion.

Hi Nick. Thank you. To be honest, I'm not the one doing the heavy lifting. I'm the messenger. I simply copy the notes file that accompanies the music files. So I'm not the one doing the mastering, editing, etc. I just do the listening.

* I received a CD and DAT.  The CD was marked "1968-Winter/Late Summer, Avalon, San Francisco", the DAT source was unmarked but had been tauted as 1967? Unknown Location.  The contents of both media turned out to be the same.  From the stereo mix differences between tracks it appears that T01-03 & T09-11 are from the same gig while T04-08 & T12-13 are from two different gigs.  Does Winter/Late Summer mean (whichever portions that refers to) the recordings are either from Winter or Late Summer or does it mean that part is from Winter & another from Late Summer?

* The DAT tape track lists T02 as ".44" however the lyrics seem to be the same as "Mean Town Blues".

* The DAT tape track lists T07 as "Yonders Wall" however the lyrics seem to be the same as "Be Careful With A Fool".

This is the 'early' DSotM set. It has the unedited 'On the Run' jam and all the other 'stuff' from the 'Best of tour '72' show. I am not sure, but I suspect that this is the same show as the new RoIO cd 'Horizons'. Overall the best recording that I have heard of this time period. Recorded at the Nakajima Sports Centre, Sapporo, Japan on March 13th 1972, this well rehersed DSOTM performance with the addition of One Of These Days and Axe, lacks the full show that would have included Echoes and AHM--hence the single CD. A one sided panel insert sleeve serves as a cover with shots of the band and a nice colour shot of Mason's Water Waves bass drums. Sound is best described as clear but lacking in brightness with a constant moderate tape hiss. All in all an interesting document of this period for fans of an embryonic DSOTM. Cold Front contains a fantastic "One of These Days" and a blood-curdling "Careful With That Axe, Eugene."

Thanks for the clarification, Hal and I still appreciate that you include the notes. I often look up artist info when I’m listening via Roon. I think that additional information adds another component to appreciating the music.

B.B. King
Obras Sanitarias Stadium
Buenos Aires, Argentina
October 31, 1992
Audience recording
Lineage: Possible 1st generation cassette copy
Featuring argentinian bluesman Pappo as opening
act and at the encores

Surely for most of the non-argentinians here, the name of Pappo don't mean much, but he was one of the founders and top name at the hard rock and blues in Argentina.  If you here in Argentina think in a rock guitar legend, the first name in the list is Pappo. He recorded lots of albums since 1968 until his death in 2005 at a road accident while driving his Harley.

Back in 1980, B.B. King was playing in Buenos Aires (I think it was his first time in Argentina). B.B. King was one of Pappo's biggest heroes. And decided to personally meet the american bluesman at the hotel. So, he went there with a bottle of good wine and a cheese. And seeing that B.B. King got nicely surprised by the presents, they got in very good relation. He even nicknamed Pappo as "the cheeseman".

12 years later, there was a new visit of B.B. King to Buenos Aires for 3 shows at the Obras Sanitarias Stadium. Each night would have a different local opening act. The 3rd and final night had Pappo's Blues (one of Pappo's bands at that moment).

Pappo did a great opening show, that led the stage warm, and the show of B.B King was amazing that night. Due my love to Pappo's music, I went that night only because I would be enjoying not just the main show, also the opening act. The venue was sold out (5000 persons) and I've seen the show from the left side tribune. The sound and the view was perfect.

Near after 2 hours into B.B. King's show, some people in the crowd started to chant the name of Pappo, and B.K King himself took the mic and said something like "where's Pappo, bring Pappo". At that moment was taking a shower backstage and they've had to go and tell him that Mr. King was asking for him and bring him running to the stage. With his hair still wet, a t-shirt and black leather pants, Pappo got on stage, got a guitar, and jammed 2 songs with B.B. King and the whole band. The people went nuts!!! Pappo and B.B. King were extremely happy and sealed and great friendship that night. Next years they would join again on stage many times in Argentina and also in USA, when Pappo was one of B.B. King's guests on stage at the Madison Square Garden. But the audio of the show you'll have here was the very FIRST time those 2 legends got together on stage.

A few weeks after this show, I was at the sunday's record fair at the Rivadavia Park in Buenos Aires City, and found somebody selling a few cassettes with live shows, and he had a 2 cassettes set, of 90min each tape, for sale. It was the audio of the show of B.B. King with Pappo at Obras. Bought it. Played it a couple of times back in 1992, and the 2 tapes remained at my cassettes storage until now. Over than 25 later, and by request of the great Kingrue, I finally had the time and mood to properly transfer those tapes and share them here with you. Hope you enjoy the audio and the story.

Big thanks are going to Kingrue, who helped me identifying the song titles I didn't know.

Hi Bowie fanatics, here it is, another `76 upgrade. Well, this one was pretty good to start with, and now it`s even better.
I have edited back in, Jean Genie that was missing, and i have also edited in the fals start of Five Years that was also missing.Someone was already dealing with this soundboard, it was mastered pretty loud for my taste but i did not want my remaster to be more quiet than this so they are the same in loudness. But they are different in other things.
I have fixed pitch, phase and levels and then i did the EQ. No compression, limiters or noise reduction!
Erik Snow and Quicksand were very helpful. Erik made another tasty artwork.

Enjoy
