Did we stay in Providence or elsewhere on the day off? I recall a HUGE throwdown at a Marriott or Hilton initiated by the Maine crew and iirc this is where I met Matt Kidwell. Sean, Gary, Pinney and I stayed at someone's apartment at Brown university copying lots of tapes. Sean and I definitely made a shopping visit to an Army Navy store where we purchased three medium sized ammo boxes, as we had been discussing how to best store tapes in while we traveled. We figured they protect ammunition from getting wet so they would work for traveling around the country winding up in every climate possible. Each of us still has them to this day, and I still use mine for taping trips when a festival with car camping is involved. The recording of set 1 is fraught with problems. The Beyer recording is unlistenable with channel dropouts and blank sections everywhere. On the Binaural rig we missed the first 4.5 minutes of Shakedown which has been patched with an unknown Neumann source for this version. After Shakedown, until we flipped at the end of Lazy Lightning, the sound quality is muddled, no where close to the typical Sennheiser binaural sound quality. Best digital processing methods and practices were used and this is as good as I could get it with 5-6 hours of sorting through the three sources. Takeaway- Shakedown is OK and end of Lazy Lightning > Deal is OK, the rest is highly processed and not great sounding. As for the show, the first set was only seven songs but over an hour of music. The 13 minute Shakedown is probably the highlight, with the Lazy Lightning jam my second highlight of this set. The second set Scarlet > Fire sound quality is much better. The jam out of Scarlet is slow and meandering with Jerry playing that sweet Mellotron tone through a plucky Fire on the Mountain. Brent adds counterpoint piano riffs in the jam foreshadowing his pulling out the Never Trust a Woman leading into rhythm devils. No, the tape speed isn't off for te Eyes of the World, which was played at typical 1984 breakneck speed. The Morning Dew came out of space a bit unexpectedly as they had already played it twice this tour, the most recent only four shows prior. Jerry's vocals are sweet even at the end screaming section. I always dug it when Baby Blue was the encore selection, and this ushered us out into the streets of Providence, looking forward to one more show in that interesting old New England city. - - - - - shntool length expanded size cdr WAVE problems fmt ratio filename 13:16.467 229382444 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7447 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s1t01.flac 7:55.307 136888364 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6941 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s1t02.flac 7:19.920 126697004 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6745 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s1t03.flac 6:39.747 115127084 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7352 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s1t04.flac 5:11.307 89656364 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7093 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s1t05.flac 9:50.627 170100524 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7354 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s1t06.flac 9:56.939 171918398 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7510 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s1t07.flac 1:07.693 19495724 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6984 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t01.flac 27:34.920 476617004 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7494 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t02.flac 11:14.053 194127404 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7399 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t03.flac 8:11.267 141484844 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7479 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t04.flac 1:38.467 28358444 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7128 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t05.flac 4:21.400 75283244 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7407 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t06.flac 11:08.653 192572204 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7080 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t07.flac 9:27.867 163545644 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6874 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t08.flac 11:27.600 198028844 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7400 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t09.flac 9:01.173 155857964 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7563 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t10.flac 8:21.440 144414764 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7544 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t11.flac 2:48.320 48476204 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7243 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t12.flac 7:22.398 127410674 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7568 gd1984-04-26beyerm201mke2002s2t13.flac 173:55.563 3005443144 B 0.7332 (20 files) App\Http\Controllers\Api\FileDownloadController::download(): Return value must be of type string, none returned
