notes:
This is the first recorder I've found for this gig, sound quality is truly nice at the beginning (EX-EX+) then some problems with the volume levels occurred as it seems and it gets distorted from Sorrw till the Dogs of War, On The Turning Away has some changes of volume during the song but souns pretty clean. On the second set , from Money on all sounds as less amplified, like more distant, but still sounds good.
here below there are notes from the taper who transferred the original master cassettes to CD. With many thanks to K!
notes from the taper:
10/15/87 Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT
- TDK HX-S 90 minute cassettes
Taped on Sony D-3 Walkman using stock external stereo mic
Seat: Section 2, Row F, seat 11: I was on the floor within the 1st three sections, middle section, left side of center. In other words, I was maybe 5 or 8 seats left of dead center, and about 6 rows back. I actually had tix for Hartford on 10/14/87 as
well, but sold them when I discovered the shows to be nearly identical night after night.
Notes: Side A start is clean, but a little distorted. I tweaked the levels around four times during Shine On. I have done some
processing to even them out, but they are still not perfect. I was unwilling to give you the straight transfer on this, as the
level swings were too drastic. At 4:15 in track 1 you will hear some minor dialogue. I had asked the guys seated next
to me to keep it down for the tape before the show started, and they agreed. You can hear how their tune changed here.
There is a cut between Shine On & Signs of Life. Can't remember why. Terminal Frost cuts off at the end of side A.
Actually, this really was not my night. I then lost all of A New Machine 2. Sorrow starts off fine, but 5:08 into it I
bumped the volume control, and thus the remainder of Sorrow and all of Dogs Of War are badly distorted. I have included
them on the CD, but beware: they sound really bad! You have been warned!
I had more level issues in Turning, but I have corrected them. See if you can guess where they were! Side B starts
clean, and the flip only loses a little jangling from the early Money sound EFX. The real problem with this recording is that
there was a "persistent clapper" sitting next to me. He just clapped and clapped and clapped. These claps can be pulled down
one by one, but it is painstaking.
As with most of the other tapes from 87, on the master Run Like Hell appears at the end of side B, having changed tapes
back for the final encore. I did do extensive level (volume) processing on this recording, mostly trying to even it out.
A large number of volume clips from hand clips were processed out.
