With people crammed into an extremely warm gym, it's a short but very intense show. We got there late but bribed an usher with some mescaline and ended up about 10-15 ft. from the stage. Cheap, no-name tape, a Sony TC-124 with it's one-point stereo microphone and a bunch of flipped out tripsters, you get some of the feel of really being there that doesn't come across in a SBD. Derek McCabe of MOTB did a fine job of remastering it for digital from my cassette originals. You can find it at the LMA.Cary Wolfsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387936856129721233.post-24365656718972999642010-09-13T13:38:57.231-05:002010-09-13T13:38:57.231-05:00Nice blog and recommendations.

I've gone on to play guitar, bass, and mandolin with all kinds of bands - both professionally and less so - and got into audio engineering along the way. I now work as a mastering engineer, so my enthusiasm and appreciation of these audio documents spans both sides of the brain. <BR/><BR/>(BTW, I know from your posts you are humble about it, but your high quality transfer work and seamless editing deserve acknowledgment. Big ups!!!) <BR/><BR/>Recently I got the GD jones again in a big way, thanks in no small part to this blog. I've had a few months since then to dive deep, relearn the songs on guitar (thanks, JDarks!), play them for the baby... Having this blog as a guide has been invaluable; truly mind-opening and educational about the history and processes of the band and taping community. <BR/><BR/>One of your recurring themes has intrigued me throughout my perusal: AUD Love. When I found this post, I had to comment because you'd already made me an AUD convert early on. <BR/><BR/>After getting over memories of the hazy hours back in the day spent listening to zillionth-generation cassettes of who-knows-what show, in my first visits to this blog I downloaded a few dates you recommended, totally unprepared for the discovery that was coming my way. <BR/><BR/>Like you and probably many readers here, I often listen to these shows as I commute on mass transit. With a decent pair of noise-cancelling headphones it can be a transcendent experience. The music can lift you away from the grind (or create a sense of synchronicity, as you described in one great post about listening as you cruised into Chicago on the train).<BR/><BR/>Nothing creates the audio illusion of a natural yet different time/space than a two mic stereo recording. Listening to these AUDs with their many shades of ambience, I found myself "at" shows that I could have only hoped to have traveled back in time to see.<BR/><BR/>It's amazing how in "real life" we adapt to hear through chatter and noise when we want to focus our attention on a sound source, and listening through the walla of any AUD tape demands the same effort. I think this is part of the intense illusory effect, though: our deepest sense of hearing is awakened, and somewhere in the amygdila a happy neuron is anticipating Jerry's next note...<BR/><BR/>So, I'm really looking forward to following this trail and reading more great reviews from you. Thanks again, Noah, and keep following your bliss!<BR/><BR/>RichardRichard Morris - mastering engineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11820844275730923082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387936856129721233.post-20593395137302111532009-02-18T14:48:00.000-06:002009-02-18T14:48:00.000-06:00I do thank you.I do thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
