Welcome to my Master Series which started way back in November 2005. This series is only about masters, concerts I recorded myself either from audience or from radio/TV broadcasts. Occasionally I could also share masters that have been kindly given to me by many friends and fellow tapers I have been meeting during my long career of live taping.

I have stopped seeding my masters after volume 400 about three years ago and since then I have shared just a few, mostly to address requests from friends. I have not stopped recording shows, though, so there is quite an impressive amount of files from my recordings that are yet uncirculated.

I have taken the liberty to look at those uncirculated masters and selected ten which I thought were special for some reasons. They will be seeded over here. Hope you will enjoy them!

This is a Yeeshkul! exclusive, I think I never seeded this master of mine but there seems to be lots of interest in PT over here that I dug into the old archive and unpolished this little gem. This is shortie but goodie, it comes from the only show the band has played in Parma, Italy. Not very far from my hometown, infact. This was the fall tour from Stupid Dream, a very obscure album from the band catalogue but nonetheless magnificent.

The club was really tiny and if I remember correctly there was a curfew so the band had to shorten their set. There must have been no more than 100 people in the club. But that was much better than what happened a few days later when the band had to cancel one show at the very same day in Switzerland because nobody bought a ticket. And it was Steven's birthday...

So I could sit comfortably in front of the PA and record undisturbed. I think this was the very first show I used my Sony MD recorder. I had purchased a few months earlier but was still hesitant to use it depite the fact that my Sony Pro analogue recorder was showing signs of illness :-) A few days before this show in Mantova, it would not work correctly during the first 10-15 minutes which resulted in an incomplete capture of that show. So I used the MD instaed and the result was really excellent...you will listen with your ears. Unfortunately a few days later in Milano bad luck struck again with the Pro and the first 20 minutes of that show have the tape floating with very bad sound.

Anyway, enough of these stories. The band played a sort of "best of" setlist and it was probably the best of the 1999 shows I attended back
then. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did in that tiny club in Parma.
