No Woman No Cry*# * with Billy Constable on banjo # with Peter Rowan on guitar and vocals A little history (for those who care): This set was the third of three that SCI played at their first (and only to date) Merlefest. It was played at about 5PM and was the last show on the Austin Stage for the day. Because of this, SCI was allowed to play pretty much as long as they wanted. Rather than an hour, they went for about 90 minutes with an encore. Unfortunately, the encore was not expected by the maker of this DSBD as the first 3 minutes or so are missing (and have been patched with the above mentioned source in Soundforge 4.5 using a nice crossfade). This DSBD surfaced a little while back. Merlefest is a notoriously non-taping festival, to the extent that when JonO extended a patch at the Main Stage on 4/27, festival authorities made him pull it back. Unfortunately, this one is not as nice as the Sam Bush set earlier in the day, presumably because of a lower quality board being used on this stage. A check of the waveforms shows that there is a fair amount of clipping, even though the levels are modest. Still, a good sounding recording. MUCH better than the audience recordings from this stage (as evidenced from the patched portion). The main reason for the disappointing audience tapes was the PA. For the first three tunes, the speaker stacks were covered with tarps to prevent them from getting soaked in the rain that had occured the better part of the day (and the night before). After a while, JonO and company actually climbed on ladders to remove the speakers, making the remainder of the show sound MUCH better. Luckily, this is not apparent on the DSBD (but is a fun tidbit of info to pass along :^). Enjoy! Jimbo |
