SOURCE / LINEAGE

Stereo SBD trade tape

Trade tape > Computer WAV > TLH v2.4.1 > FLAC 8 > DIME > you
Big thanks to the original taper, and to the trader who hooked me up with a copy.
I first did a master for this in 2000, but with noise reduction & that's the version I'd traded for the time since.
Finally unearthed the source tape, and went for a redo skipping the NR; this version was mastered 2009-09-05.
The only thing I did on the computer was place track marks before each piece.
This FLAC fileset comes directly from those final WAVs's, which only needed SBE corrections in TLH; no CD-Rs or EACs.

NOTES

I bought a copy of this tape off of Zorch Enterprises (Chicago) back in 1984 or so.
It was one of a half dozen Snakefinger shows from him that I later found were then-uncommon on the trading circuit in the '90s.
(I keep finding more of these, so maybe it was a dozen.)

- - - -

Snakefinger typically named his band & would often change it up from night to night.
For this show, if he said a name, I missed it (or the tape missed catching it).

- - - -

My copy of this tape did not note the venue & for the longest time I didn't know where they played.
I found that from some googling / someone must have shared that along the way & now it's documented here too.

The remaster is a few seconds shorter & and some tracks may "look longer or shorter" than the original.
I cut a smidge of hiss gaps here and there, and moved some starts because I could better hear the count-in.
It's all really the same.

- - - -

It's a fine soundboard, but there's some hiss, mercy me; but it's Snakefinger, so you throw caution to the wind.

It's an excellent show, and the keyboards are up nice & high in the mix here.
I usually opt for a Snakey solo somewhere in the sample, but this time instead we'll go for a keyboard solo.

When looking at the lead-in to the music on my monitor, I can visually see at least 3 levels of hiss / it's certainly a few gens down.
If someone has a better lower-gen version of this, please by all means share it.

- - - -

Crank it up and ENJOY! it as I have, and share it so others can hear it.

- - - -

Filenames have numbers on the end that are the TIMES (ex. - "...-359" is 3min59sec long).

I mark the start of tracks when the music or count-in begins, not the talking about it before it starts.
