| J-Card Comment | My late brother's widow was finally able to let go and recently gave me his archive containing somewhere between 4,000 and 6,000 cassettes, some 9 years after he passed away. (About ? of these are Grateful Dead, all of which has been circulating pretty widely, so I won't be looking at those for quite sometime.) I'll gradually be going through them all to cull out all those very rare gems that are missing from circulation, but immediately I knew which would be first to be released, as this was one of his proudest master soundboard recordings, which during his lifetime he may have given to less than 10 people (just to his closest friends, and then only after exacting a strict no list/no trade under penalty of death promise, even from me!!!) The way my brother told the story (and he really knew how to tell stories), back in 1975 he was working for the Tulane University concerts committee a/k/a Lagniappes (pronounced "lan yap" translated from the cajun dialect I understand it to mean - a little something extra special, sort of like the sugar on the top of your grandmother's cookies, they were great already, but the sugar made it even better.) He was allegedly instrumental in arranging this concert. Anyway, as I understand it, the cassette I made this from is his soundboard master. This was recorded on a Sony CRO-90 cassette, which as I recall was one of the original high bias Chromium Dioxide compositions to be made available for consumer use back in the mid 70's. The tape has withstood the test of time very well and this recording is pristine. I can detect no audible loss in sound quality from the way I remember this to sound back in the 70's when I first heard it.. The only known flaw, if you can call this a flaw, occurs at the tape flip, during the crowd noise just before "For Everyman", but in those days we only had 45 minutes of tape to work with and tape flips were the norm, so I don't really consider this a "flaw", but then I don't want anyone to think something is missing, as the change in sound at the flip is pretty obvious. I am releasing just the late show right now. The set list for the early show is identical, song for song, except for the addition of a "Before the Deluge" as a second encore song. It was just random luck that made me chose the late show first. This CD runs 72:30, so I don't know if the early show with an additional song will fit on one CD without cutting out some crowd noise between songs. I'll cross that bridge in a few weeks, when I can bring myself to spend a few hours listening to Jackson Browne again. By the way, if anybody could name the song indicated with "???" please let us all know. I'm including some minor artwork with this release ... but don't get too excited as I am not that kind of an artist (my art is that of taping). It's just a scan of the ticket stub, which I found neatly tucked away inside the cassette box. Finally, I recognize the voice of a long lost friend, Ron B., who did the introduction of Jackson Browne on this recording. If this message should somehow make it back to him, where ever he may be, you know who I am, so please get in touch with me - I'm listed in the Manhattan directory. It's been years and we've got a lot of catching up to do. |
