NoteComplete "Heroes Are Hard To Find" Show from master reel to reel AUD tape (first time in circulation) Rare setlist, and one of Bob Welch's last shows! mp3 sample

This reel had become separated from its broken tape box some time back, and had become misplaced and forgotten. The box had become damaged sometime prior to my possession in the early 1990's, and the tape had apparently been improperly stored as a result.

If you collect music the way I do, organization is a real problem. Wait, let's talk about that for a minute: most people who DO collect music the way I do generally have a spouse or family member, who either doesn't understand and says something to you about it, or... who sometimes takes matters into their own hands and rearranges all of your carefully arranged "shit piles" into a clean, tidy, out of the way place... where you can't find anything anymore.

Does this sound familiar?

Mrs. Doinker is NOT like that, she's a very understanding woman. She's even asked to be quoted here:

"Once in a while I get tired of being alone. Sometimes I come come and the first thing you do is go up on that dammed computer. Then, when you finally come to bed, you expect me to be bright and cheerful. But, I'm not. I'm smarter than you".

Great... just great... LOLOL!!!

As a reference to this subject, or if you are with me for the first time, look at the title page of this torrent:

But hey, anyway, as I was saying, organizing stuff is a bit of a problem around here. So, the box destroyed itself, and the reel disappeared for over two years.

The reel was located open on a shelf while trying to reorganize CDr's. A faulty transfer had been made when the tapes were first received, and I found that. From there a search went on for the reel.

No amount of tape baking will work on this tape. It's mechanically damaged and the oxide is no longer there for parts of it. What you will hear is a reconstruction that took many hours to do. Recording levels were altered many times, and one portion was reconstructed from scratch with overlays from other material within the concert due to unrecoverable damage. It still isn't perfect, but it is listenable to.

Identifying the show was another matter. The tape only says "Shrine" on it, and there was nothing else to go by. Through the kind courtesy of FMLegacy.com, the date of 1974-11-30 was given as a possibility. On this date, Fleetwood Mac opened for the Jefferson Starship. A quick search turned up the Starship reel, and the dates matched.
