Total Time ::: 1:35:41
::: Very fine wide stereo audience tape.
::: Warts: MANY level adjustments by taper - most repaired & now a MUCH better listen than my original tape. Fluctuations in 1st song settle down - just wait! More info below.
::: (?) Tape labeled only "UMass" so almost certainly Amherst or Boston. After many hours with tape & audience, I reckon it's Boston.
::: The new Steve Miller Band here includes 3 ex-members of Frumious Bandersnatch..... Incredible, joyful, transcendent jamming in a number of places.
::: The taper must have had a great spot with one mike towards the stage, the other towards the P.A. stack - great separation.
::: The taper or his companion start laughing between the first 2 songs & we get, "I just burned myself on a joint."
::: Dude, forget about yer "Rock Love" album, this is the real shit! As Stevie says, "Lay back & let the good times roll."
Recording Information ::: unknown equipment -> master stereo audience tape -> unknown generations (not many!) -> unknown generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette, Dolby B on.
Playback 2012-01-22 ::: unknown generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette on Nakamichi BX-300 cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth & pitch adjusted, heads cleaned & demagnatized -> Tascam CD-RW900SL pro CD recorder -> CD-RW -> computer, EAC secure -> wavs -> Audacity (fades &/or glitches, dropouts, volume adjustments, no EQ) -> CD Wave (track splits) -> Trader's Little Helper -> yer ears. In one main place for a short bit the volume dropped out almost completely in 1 channel but it sounded better to raise the level with hiss appearing than go for to mono during the passage. Occasionally there is a bit of high end loss for a second, but minimal & usually only in 1 channel. And, weird volume adjustments... As we used to say, this one "was a pisser." First uploaded week of 2012-01-25.
Line-up ::: Steve Miller - acoustic & electric guitars, vocals, harmonica // Bobby Winkelman - rhythm acoustic & electric guitars, vocals // Ross Lamont Valory ("Dr. Ross") - bass, vocals (& acoustic guitar?) // Jack King ("Jumpin' Jack Flash") - drums, vocals.
Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.
CoolSonics 097 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! My copy came from The Man In The Palace, so you know it's a royal gem. ::: Corrections welcome ::: This one's for Ena, whether she can still dig this stuff or not... Stevie, Stevie. F'in' great show, one of my absolute favorites by Miller. We get the soft side, the heavy side & a lot inbetween, with great harmonies & about half of the "Number 5" album, some incredibly well-played (for live music) tasty arrangements & a wonderful lack of surfeit of attitude - the man's just layin' it down. Gotta wonder who taped this in Massachusetts at the time & what other recordings were made with this equipment, as overall it sounds great, maybe from the front of a balcony, close up. It appears to be 4am before the last song in the set...gotta wonder who else was on this bill before Steve Miller. I remember those shows, like getting out of Hot Tuna at the Palladium at 6am with the sun coming up, one band, all night...
More recordings on the way, making up for years of slow netspeed. Kudos to Zongo for life support, Lochner for mikes & much more, & to Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
