Taper Notes:
This is the Bernstein Archive Restoration Project Number 6 (BARN6), the 6th in my ongoing series of classic uncircularted shows from my personal archived collection of DAT recordings.
This long-overdue project was unique in that it required the most significant amount of work I've put into any of my BARN recordings thus far. First off, when I put the DAT into my R500 to play it back, the EMPH light lit up. This indicated that an ancient emphasis curve was recorded into the audio waveform. This emphasis curve hasn't been used in A>D converters since early 90s when they weren't as sophisitcated as they are now. So my first challenge was to figure out how to remove this curve from the waveform digitally on the computer. There were lots of postings with approximate EQ curves to remove the emphasis (which every CD player or DAT player knows how to remove through their analog outputs), but it was tough to track down something which could precisely do it for me. I finally tracked down the Sox software which came with an option for removing emphasis from a wav file, which really needed to be done before I did any other processing on the file.
OK, so after de-emphasizing, I finally got to crack open the file, and got to see what it looked like. Well, due to the nature of the mix being heavily SBD-weighted in a tiny club, the vocals were incredibly loud compared to everything else -- I mean sometimes like 10db louder than the rest of the music. So to fix this, I painstakingly found all of the peaks and raised the volume of the music between the peaks so that the vocals wouldn't be nearly as loud compared to the instrumental parts. Hopefully I did my job well enough for you not to notice.
At any rate 13 1/2 years after the fact, I present to you this historic show from a tiny venue in Hoboken (just minutes outside of Manhattan) -- Maxwells, which is less than 1/3 the size that Wetlands was (and was far from sold out), and contains the first performances of the rare Ghost Of A Child (including Chuck on Saxophone and Al on acoustic), the now-epic Four(!), and She Sends Me. It also contains the 2nd performances of Guitar, Bring You Down (here called "I Wanna Bring You Down"), Californ-i-a (with Chuck on pennywhistle for the midsong breakdown!), and the long-lost personal favorite Ugly American. This also has Al memorializing Frank Dersin, creater of Eggo waffles, in middle of Moth. I recall meeting both Becca Childs and Jon Fishman's mom, Mimi at this show (she was "on tour" with moe. at this point, if you can believe that).
