Bruce Hornsby Band
Yoshi's, Oakland, CA
Nov. 7, 1998

These shows have been circulated widely, but perhaps not so much in this version, which is the taper's own master DATs transferred (all digital) by the taper himself, with no EAC or cdr copies in the lineage. Another DIMEr contacted me and expressed dissatisfaction with the soundboard recordings that circulate of this set of nights at Yoshi's and asked if I had Bigfoot's Neumann KM254 audience recordings. It turns out that his recordings are among those I copied from Bigfoot's hard drive after he so sadly passed away last summer. I will be posting the balance of the Hornsby Yoshi's shows found on his hard drive as time permits (what I found were Oct. 30, Nov. 3, Nov. 6, Nov. 7, Nov 8; the other shows in this run, which I did not find, were Oct. 27, Oct. 28, and Nov. 1)

recorded and mastered to cdr by Sandy A. (aka Bigfoot)
audience recording
two Neumann KM254 microphones > DAT (either Sony D8 or Tascam DA-P1)
transfer: digital out > Sek'd Prodif Plus > Sound Forge (.wav files on hard drive)

*lineage is a guess based on known lineage of other Bigfoot recordings from this time period. 

.wav files copied from Sandy's computer by Easy Ed to an external hard drive, then copied to one of Easy Ed's PCs > Trader's Little Helper > flacs (level 8 align on sector boundaries), ffp and torrent files NO EAC. 

***since Sandy had these combined as a 5 cd set I kept it that way. Discs 1 and 2 are 11/6, disc 3 has both 11/6 and 11/7, discs 4 and 5 are 11/7*** 

Mutual friends have told me that Sandy and some other folks worked together, with his Neumann mikes as the source, to record all the shows in this run. Sandy was apparently not there every night, but his mikes were and were the source that the audience tapers were plugged into. Story goes that by the end of the run the Yoshi's staff thought the tapers were part of the band's crew and that the band mentioned them from the stage during the performance at some point.

~~~~~~ Bigfoot Memorial ~~~~~~ 

I am devastated that my friend, Sandy A. (aka Bigfoot, aka Sasquatch) passed away on Friday, June 5, 2009 at the age of 52. 

Even though he had been struggling with health issues for seven years, and even though when I spoke to him on June 3rd he was suffering and he said his wife was worn pretty thin, I truly believed he would get better. It never even occurred to me that he wouldn't get better. 

I and the other people who knew and loved him feel a great loss to no longer have him in our lives. 

Our friendship started with our shared passion for taping shows. I helped Sandy get his first computer and showed him how to do a clean, all digital transfer and master to cdr, and over the years he shared many of his recordings with me. We know Sandy is setting up a great taping rig in heaven to record the jams of the great musicians up there (unfortunately God's girlfriend is one of the singers) but I wish he was still here with all of us. 

Our friendship grew beyond just sharing music and taping. Sandy was a Buddha-like, god-like figure in my mind. He was one of the best people I have ever known, always so kind and generous to others. He was a shining example of how not to take on other people's shit and how to not be judgmental. I am questioning whether Karma does exist, because Sandy was as good a person as I can imagine and deserved many more years of joy with his loving wife and his many friends and the many bands he grooved to and became friends with. 

Many other people had many different (non-taping) connections with Sandy. He loved fishing. He loved gardening. He loved music and saw tons of shows, not only his old standbys like Neil Young, Jackson Browne and SCI, but new up and coming bands (many of whom he helped attain national recognition) like Yonder Mountain String Band, Hot Buttered Rum String Band and others. He loved his wife, who very much loved him too, and for whom I wish I could absorb some of the pain she must be feeling. 

But Sandy, despite his many interests, was about his connections with people. If you would have taken away taping, he would have missed it but been ok. If you took away music, he would have missed it but been ok. But I know that he would not have been ok if he didn't have his friends. 

I would like to celebrate one of the sides of Sandy that I shared, that is, taping of concerts, by offering up some of the many, many wonderful audience recordings that he made over the years. 

Sandy was always sharing his recordings with his friends (kinda like Harpo Marx, who'd put his leg in your hand if you stood next to him: if you got near Sandy, you'd end up with cds in your hand), so these are not uncirculated by any means, but they may be recordings that some of you have never had access to before. 

Sandy didn't have high speed internet and earlier this year I told him about torrent sites and asked him if it'd be ok to share his recordings online. He answered with a resounding, clear YES (with the understanding that certain artists, venues and shows were 'no-copies') 

People, don't wait til the wonderful among us have passed on to thank them and celebrate them. We are each but a brief, passing flame, flickering in the wind. Nurture and rejoice in the warmth and light while we have it. 

Tearfully yours, 
Easy Ed
