The 2nd night at Montreux unearthed, though not in fantastic shape, this is all we could find. This came to me as a mix of 2 recorders, what I call recorder 1 sounding really nice, a nice EX (and it sounds as being an old soundboard recording... but who knows, for now, let's call it recorder 1) and recorder 2, which sounds inferior but decent really. Both recordings are incomplete, and they were kindly given to me by Piggy, from his own Reel he got from an 'old hippy' some years ago, which he brought to a professional studio to transfer to DAT (which cost him $75!). Was hard to compare to what we have from the night before, but after an extensive comparison of the announcements before Green is the Colour from recorder 1, and even some drum fills and patterns, we came to the conclusion that this is indeed a genuine recording from the 2nd night. The story with recorder 1 is that it sounds as an old soundboard recording, more than an audience one, besides, from some info that Piggy gathered, it says that this recorder 1 was broadcasted on the radio, so this 'recorder 1' could be a recording from the radio, or it could be even from the EMI acetates, since both nights were professionally taped for a future release, and also, this rec1 includes an announcer, but i cant pinpoint if this announcer is right on the stage or if it's some kind of Radio introduction. Also, one of the recorders is said to be recorded on an AKAI recorder with 2 mono microphones, 6m in front of the stage, but i cant tell which one of the 2. So for now, till some info appears, we would call this 'recorder 1'. No processing was done to the recording, only pitch and speed correction which was really needed (recorder 1 ran slow and recorder 2 ran fast, with the final portion of CwtAE being damaged and running very fast, as the reel was ending, if you know what i mean). Also, recorder 1 suffers of some channel dropping, but we decided to leave the source as we received it. There some hiss on recorder 1 too, but this is how we obtained it. Also, even though this was speed corrected, some speed fluctuations still occur. Seems this reel wasnt in the best conditions but hey, does that matter? The performance is nice, i like it better than the one from the previous night, great versions of Fat Old Sun and Cymbaline.
Original notes provided by Piggy:
The source reel was obtained from a hippie living in the swiss alps. This reel is of an unknown generation (foggy memory!) and a compilation of 2 recorders. According to the taper, one of the recorders is from an AKAI recorder, 2 mono microphones, 6m in front of the stage (don't know which one). He also mentionned that parts were also recorded from the radio :
I hope you enjoy this show as much as I did.

Is this the same show as 'More Blues' that was re-upped earlier this year? In the comments for that concert people are confused whether it is from November 21 or 22...
Tnx,
Mark

Ok I grabbed the specific one and will have it up this week
As Loreal would say, "Because you're worth it!"

while I will still put up the specific offering that you requested, I believe that I did so before RonToon (about 14 months ago) with this post:

Dave, thanks for helping me out on this one!! As far as I know the Reeling recording is yet again different from the Victor reels. I think it will be worth the try to find out what the Victor reels are about. They should be stellar and just as good as the Victor reels for Montreux 1971! So I sincerely hope you can find them and upload them.
Sure the Montreux 1970 and 1971 performances are amongst the best PF has done.
Regards, G.
