This was a Thursday and after all the worry about rain outs there was almost no precipitation for these three shows: the weather had been more on the hot side these three days and nights with occasional mountain afternoon clouds indicating someone might be getting rain or hail. Due to getting all our traveling plans together because we would split paths the next day we arrived late this day and were unable to get anyone in line close enough to get the front locations as we did on nights 1 & 2. So we wound up behind the soundboard about 6-8 rows. This does provide a nice acoustic perspective as to how the Beyers were performing with this PA at locations which varied widely from the source (50 or 70 feet away as opposed to this 140 feet). I would say they seem different acoustically in terms of proximity but this recording has some very positive aspects to it which may not be on the two FOB recordings. The Shakedown Street comes out smokin' with great Jerry guitar leads and some vocal rondo action during the "poke around" section. An unexpected Mama Tried > Big River at the top of the set highlighted more Jerry guitar sweetness. This Ramble On Rose was one of my favorite versions for a long time. The set 1 closing Looks Like Rain > Deal is sailing! I kept this as a car tape copy for years. They threw in an Estimated > Terrapin Station for the lead into drums which added to the beauty of the evening. In my opinion this whole show is a gem from the performance point of view, really fine, relaxed versions of these songs. I had to leave tour and go back to Syracuse for the start of school. Tom and Chris would go on with our newly reacquainted friend Sean. Tom and I had met Sean in June at Poplar Creek and we had not met back up until the end of this show. Sean had told us he tok a bus from Virginia and was at all 3 shows but could not locate us until after the encore of the third night. Luckily for him, Chris and Tom had an open seat in the Saab and Sean rode with them to the final three shows. This was one of the first instances where we sent equipment without the owner on tour (in this case, my D5 and Beyer microphones). So we packed all the gear up and sent it off with those guys headed to Santa Fe while we drove back to Syracuse. I took the tour tapes home with me so we could start copying them as soon as we got home. We had most of them copied and were subjectively rating them by the time Chris and Tom returned with the Santa Fe and Austin recordings. - - - - length expanded size cdr WAVE problems fmt ratio filename 1:00.507 17425964 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6794 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s1t01.flac 12:42.933 219724844 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7059 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s1t02.flac 2:46.320 47900204 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7213 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s1t03.flac 6:21.987 110012204 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7252 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s1t04.flac 7:51.667 135840044 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7278 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s1t05.flac 5:45.360 99463724 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7448 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s1t06.flac 5:01.027 86695724 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7343 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s1t07.flac 7:24.080 127895084 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7213 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s1t08.flac 8:48.168 152112428 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7404 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s1t09.flac 27:51.560 481409324 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7369 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t01.flac 0:54.320 15644204 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6845 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t02.flac 11:27.747 198071084 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7304 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t03.flac 11:50.160 204526124 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7218 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t04.flac 8:13.493 142126124 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6975 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t05.flac 15:54.373 274859564 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.6815 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t06.flac 8:30.280 146960684 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7213 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t07.flac 8:59.120 155266604 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7142 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t08.flac 3:43.133 64262444 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7396 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t09.flac 8:18.093 143450924 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7475 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t10.flac 7:03.829 122062874 B cxx -- ---xx flac 0.7168 gd1983-09-08beyerm201-24s2t11.flac 170:28.157 2945710174 B 0.7218 (20 files) App\Http\Controllers\Api\FileDownloadController::download(): Return value must be of type string, none returned
