NOTES:
The Tombstone Blues Band was a short lived high school band 
formed in 1982 in Sudbury, Massachusetts, USA. 

The primary basist for the group, Mike Gordon, went on to be
the basist for Phish. In this live performance, he sings Good 
Lovin' and Riders on the Storm.
 He also has a pretty cool base 
line that follows the drum solo.
Songs requiring the keyboard calls Mike to action as well (like
Won't Get Fooled Again), while Kerry plays bass.

In going through some old tapes in my basement, I found this 
first generation tape and decided to give it a listen. Sure 
enough, it turned out to be what it was labled as, The TB Band, 
so I figured it would be worth digitizing it and sharing it.
As far as I know, this is the only instance recording of this show.

The tape's age is showing itself significantly in this recording.
There are alot of drop outs in both channels from time to time.
I did nothing to specifically fix any of the tape deficiencies
in this recording - I left them all as is.

Also, because of not having a sound board for this show (where all 
instruments a mic'd and piped back to board for mixing) the
phenomenon of "whomever is loudest wins" exists. So, the drums and 
bass are light in the mix many times whereas the guitars, keyboards, 
and vocals are more up front. This is the nature of the beast
when your recording microphones are voice mics (dont remember the
brand but they were typically something like Shure stage voice mics).

TRADE FREELY but please, do not trade in MP3 or other lossy format. 
This is not intended for RESALE!

PLEASE....

I would kindly like to ask that nobody re-seed this release on
any other tracker or source without at least notifying me in advance.
The same goes for any remastering or artwork projects.

NOTES:
The Edge was a short lived garage/high school band that 
consisted of many of the same members that the Tombstone 
Blues Band was made of, formed sometime around 1982, in 
Sudbury, Massachusetts, USA.

This band members did not go any further in terms of having 
fame and fortune, however, the bands basist, Mike Gordon, 
ended up being the bassist for Phish.

From what I recall, the band wanted to record some of their
covers, and they did so in a few takes down in Bruce's
basement.  If you listen carefully to some of these songs,
you will sometimes here two copies mixed in at the same time. 
This is due to the mixing of multiple sources to from
multiple "takes".


I also think there is a 1st generation tape or even a CD 
floating around someplace of these same songs. I may have it
in my possession and there may be a copy of it someplace else
as well. That would prove to be much higher in quality than 
what is here.

But, alas, enjoy what it is.


TRADE FREELY but please, do not trade in MP3 or other lossy format. 

PLEASE....
I would kindly like to ask that nobody re-seed this release on
any other tracker or source without at least notifying me in advance.
The same goes for any remastering or artwork projects.

NOTES:
The Tombstone Blues Band was a short lived high school band 
formed in 1982 in Sudbury, Massachusetts, USA. They were formed
from the remaining members of The Edge band.

The primary basist for the group, Mike Gordon, went on to be
a member of the world famous band Phish. 

The master CD-R is one of a small number (3 or 4) which were made in
the year 1996.  I found the original cassette tape in my archives at
that time and got a friend at work to help digitize the tape (in hopes
to preserve it).  He had a deck that could play back 12x speed tapes
(which at the time did not really matter as we could have sped up the
digital tracks digitally). I do recall spending an afternoon making 
the digitized tracks, some quick artwork, and burning a few CD-Rs.  
I got two copies of the CD-R with artwork, plus the mater without art, 
my work friend kept a copy, and a copy was given to Mike Gorton by me 
when we last hooked up for the meet-and-greet after the Phish show 
at the Worcester Centrum Centre in Massachusetts on Friday 
November 27th, 1998.
