A multi-media event arranged by Richard Brender, who put on shows in the Pacific Northwest in the 1980s and 90s, including several Robert Hunter shows in Seattle.  Katie Johntz is his sister.

This new transfer using better equipment brings out some of the flaws in the recording, including tiny 'pops' that originated with the mics or the poets as they spoke.  Also, although the cassette was marked "no Dolby" there was a lot of hiss and it sounded unnaturally bright as if Dolby had been used.  The recording was therefore decoded using Dolby C.

This tape came from Caroline Welch (a/k/a Carlisle) who passed away in July 2008 and is still missed.  A video exists and has been synced to DVD by the inestimable Kevin Tobin using a prior transfer of these cassettes.


Enjoy!

Tom Constanten opened for Robert Hunter. Quiet audience.
Digital transfer caused recording to be slow by 0.1%.
Analog transfer was used. PCM digital had too many drop-outs.

Notes on this recording:
SOME MAY THINK THIS IS FOR COMPLETISTS ONLY
Although hissy, in general listenable.
But there are too many dropouts, channel drops, static pops,
& mike movements to begin to note.
I'm working on the Robert Hunter sets to this night,
and though they have many of the same problems,
the overall sound quality is better than this TC set.

Checksum & tags created in xACT

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped,
however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp or st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
