| Tech Note | notes d1t01 - first notes might be clipped d3t02 - some very minor distortion on some of the vocals d3t02 - tape flip at end of NFA d3t03 - tape flip overlaps some of the segue into Stella Blue Here's Jerry Moore's comments on the taping details: "Though I didn't know it at the time, I was already into a phase-out phase on my run of making audience tapes. I had my 158 with me, but no mikes. I'm not quite sure why. I'd moved a couple of times, maybe the mikes were packed away somewhere or I couldn't coordinate to where they were with a ride to the shows. Likeliest I'd lent the 33P's back to the guy who bought them in the first place, and I'd gotten too spoiled to want to use my AKG's. Whatever the case, I patched out of Maisner and Spitalny in Vermont, out of Glassberg in New Haven, and out of Steve and Spit again in Springfield. They had a Nak 550, and were running the three mike "tee" formation, two fully to the sides (180 degrees from each other, one straight ahead to blend, at a lower level, the whole thing atop a goodly sized pole. This method was somewhat chancy - you could get pretty miserable results if your positioning or the room acoustics were even a little imprecise, but if the stars were well aligned and nobody breathed till the show was over, it could produce a really sweet tape with wonderful ambience. The stars smiled on Springfield, I think. The tape is nice. ... I DON'T remember what mikes Steve and Spit were running. I was thinking 700's, but something keeps saying Sony ECM 54P's (the mikes that replaced the 33's, or it might have been another model of Sonys. Today, I'm thinking 54P's, though). ..... Oops. I forgot to mention something you'd probably want to know. 5/11/78, Springfield. Recording by Maisner. Moore and Spitalny (and I'm not positive that Spit was there, for that matter). It actually WAS a group effort, BTW. I didn't just run up looking to patch in somewhere. We recorded together maybe three or four times, and those were good experiences. We worked out strategies before we went anywhere near an arena door. Good teamwork is a wonderful thing. Among other details, when it's done, you're able to say "WE DID IT!" to the other guys. Feels good. The facts, before I forget them again. We were on the floor, a bit off axis to the right, and close to center court, likely just a bit in front of it. With that rig, you usually want to be dead center in the room. Being close can be worse than being far away. You NEED the room sound for it to work properly. |
