And of course, to make it sound better.After finishing the mastering process, I've started to believe this recording was done close to the stage but off center, maybe on the guitar side of the sound projection. The general mix, or sound of the recording, is fairly unbalanced. However, at times certain instruments are pretty prenounced and actually sound like they could be from a board source. The vocals, for the most part, are either too low, or too loud. This has been remedied somewhat. Then of course there's the screaming. This gets pretty bad at times and definitely buries a lot of the band. On the bright side, it's not as bad as a lot of the live Beatle recordings I've heard and it tends to go away, for the most part, after the beginnning of a song. When it comes to editing, most of what was done was eq'ing and amplifying certain sections. As the recording was so unbalanced, from increasing some higher frequencies, there would be small sections, mostly vocals, that would have a much higher amplitude than every other section. This meant I had to either leave the tracks at a fairly low volume as to not clip parts of the recording or do something else. These sections of the recording of higher amplitude, mostly a second or less of audio, were dropped a few dB's before eq'ing so that I could still increase the overall amplitude of the track. There was, and still is, a whole lot of low end on this recording. In fact, the frequency range of this recording is very short, containing mostly low end, with some mid and little or none high end frequencies. This makes it very limiting. I've tried to squeeze out as much clarity as possible. Hopefully it sounds a little better. I don't know of many great audience recordings from '66. If this is one, it's an excellent audience recording from that time frame. And it is, of course, the last live Beatles performance. Enjoy. upped by: theface07 http://www50.brinkster.com/theface07/ hendrix07@nl.rogers.com ============== 03-15-2006 #2 15jugglers The way I understand it - and this may be apocryphal - is that Paul, knowing that this was going to be their last live performance had someone (Mal Evans?) record the event on a portable tape deck from the stage. The reason that the last track is a fragment is that the 30 minute tape ran out! Thanx for this one, looking forward to hearing if the remastering helps out. 15j ============= 03-15-2006 #5 darth9neo 15jugglers has it mostly right. The person who taped it was Tony Barrow. Barrow's tape, with its incomplete LTS, is the only tape ever to have come to light. So it's not a soundboard, but since Barrow was on the field near the band rather than in the stands with the screamers, it's not exactly an aud either, except to the extent that aud implies taped with a mic rather than line inputs. d9n =========== 03-15-2006 #7 chuff this concert was recorded (at the request of the beatles) by their press officer tony barrow - he forgot to turn the tape over - hence the missing section of long tall sally. August 30: Candlestick Park San Francisco, California: The Beatles final stage performance took place here at Candlestick Park which was home to baseball's San Francisco Giants. 25,000 fans attended the show with 20,000 seats remaining unsold. Beatles PR man Tony Barrow was asked by Paul if he would tape the concert for posterity. Tony recorded the concert on a cassette recorder. In 1988, Tony auctioned off the cassette recording at Sotheby's in London, and was eventually turned into a bootleg album. With the sea wind blowing hard across the stage (located in the middle of the park with a 200 foot high fence surrounding it), The Beatles took the stage at 9:27 p.m. Their last number was Long Tall Sally instead of I'm Down which was what they were ending some of their concerts with. By 10:00 p.m. it was all over, and this phase of the Beatles career would come to an end. [from http://www.beatlemania.ca/toursworld/americantour.htm] =========== This is from my Bootcity message from last December: Quote: In 1986, The Beatles Monthly (official fan rag) did a story about this recording... Tony Barrow (spelling my be incorrect) was the Fab's press guy and flew around with the band during the '66 tour, taking with him a primative cassette tape recorder (but fortunately utilizing a good microphone) he used for recording press conferences. At McCartney's request, he used this rig to record this concert on a C60 cassette. Because he was one of the inner circle, he was allowed to record from the ballfield (home plate? pitcher's mound?) of Candlestick Park. The fans were far away in the seats/stands which is why some think it's a line/board tape. It isn't. It's just an audience tape but very close to the amps. Anyway, the story in The Beatles Monthy claims that Barrow made McCartney a copy of his cassette shortly after the tour and then sat on the tape for twenty years. Then, in the mid 80s, McCartney contacted Tony Barrow to get another copy of this tape, since Paul's was missing (?!?!) Soon thereafter, 99% of the tape surfaced on a LP bootleg. In the 90s, Vigotone/Spank released the entire recording but I suspect that Vigo's version has significant reverb added (sounds echoey). In my opinion, we should thank Tony Barrow for allowing this to leak. If his story is correct (about Macca requesting a dub of this tape in the mid 80s, which is just about the same time the first boot of this surfaced), then he must've sat on this tape for twenty years before it surfaced. I feel that it's one of the finest documents of the Fab Four live in concert. I wonder if photos exist of the live show, with Tony Barrow standing at home plate or on the pitcher's mound? Amatuer film exists, too. In the late 80s, two partners owning some/all film footage, released competeing videos of the show. Does anyone have this video/film????? I've never seen it. |
