This show came from DAT and is posted as recorded...16 bit, 48kHz, and no CD breaks (although it will fit onto one CD).

I've had this show in my DAT collection for quite a while.  Last week, I saw that the April 11, 1992 show was posted and the encore to this show, so I pulled this out and thought it'd make a nice payback to the uploader of the other show.   My source says this is a Soundboard>DAT recording, which is very much is when you hear it, but I've always wondered if it was the complete show.  Looking at the 4/11 shows, it fits with the time (about 65 mins), but there is no mention of whether this is the early or late show, or even if there was an early or late.  The 4/11 uploader references the taper, so perhaps he can shed light on this.  Also, though the last portion of the tape matches the audience "encore" portion that was up'd, there is no indication that it is in fact an encore.  As you will hear on this tape, the band plays pretty much straight for 65 mins, and then it's over.

Overall it is a great tape.  The mix fluctuates a couple of times as the sound engineer is getting things tuned up.

I look forward to more Meters sharing here in the future.  I'm in the midst  of converting my entire DAT collection to hard drive (about 1200 DATs) and from time to time, will upload as I have time.

April 11, 1992: Sennheiser mics > patched thru Sony TC-D5M > Sony TC-D6C. The
mics were attached to a column in front, aprx fifteen feet from the stage.
April 10, 1992 Filler: Denon one-point stereo mic (hand-held) > Sony TC-D6C.

First generation tapes used for this transfer: Cassettes > Sony TC-D5M > Marantz
CDR-500 Burner > EAC > WAV > Soundforge > CD-Wave > TLH v.1.0.0.72 > FLAC >
Dimeadozen.org February 2006. Soundforge was used to repair around the tape flips
and to make some small edits. The tracks were split with CD-Wave. TLH was used
for SBE-fix, FLAC compression, and to create checksums.

Noted Flaws: A brief cut for a tape flip at 0:09 of d1t09. Another brief cut for
a tape flip at 2:26 of d2t03. Right channel drop-out in first 30 sec of d2t05.

The Muse was a short-lived NYC nightclub, located on West Broadway south of
Canal Street. I recall that Leo played his Fender Starcaster at this show.
Great recording, thanks to Brian for taping and lending me his tapes. Enjoy!

Quality note: several dropouts in the intro track and the beginning of Funky Miracle.  Also a few near the end.  Other than that the sound is terrific.

Setlist notes: The tracks on this tape differ somewhat from the setlist on db.etree, also a bit from the notes on the Dat J-card.  The setlist I've compiled is derived from both, as well as the one on setlist.com (listed under "Funky Meters"), googling lyrics and my own ears.  Just taking the information I've been given and trying to make it work.  If you have better info and want to correct this setlist, I'll be quite grateful.

Also, the DAT lists Hey Pocky Way as an encore, but it's probably from another show.  After Burn it Down the emcee (club manager, whoever) dismisses the crowd and the house music comes on.  Hey Pocky Way and the songs that follow it are also recorded somewhat louder, leading me to believe they were either added as filler or remnants from another show that was taped over.  Either way, it's highly unlikely they were part of this show and therefore have not been included.  Again, any correction on this score, especially by those who were at this show, are greatly appreciated.
