Late Show

Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium

Santa Cruz, California

Audience cassette master. Sound quality is fairly decent, though there are some rough
spots in the first couple of songs. Part of track 2 has a bad channel so the good channel
is pasted into the other with the differences made less noticeable by panning gradually
from stereo to mono and back. There is also someone playing some stupid whistle in the
audience that gets picked up for some of track 2 until I could move away from that idiot.
While moving the stereo image remained OK by keeping the mics pointed correctly,
but by the time I stopped moving forward the bass and midrange sound pressure levels
were a bit overloaded so the rest of the show sounds good but not great. Audience noise
was no longer a problem with the music so loud and there are no cut songs so overall this
probably rates as way better than average for Marley audience recordings. Please check the
samples to judge the sound quality for yourself.

The show is only 15 seconds
over 80 minutes but no editing was done to get this to fit on one disc. There really
wasn't any extra space because the master had already been paused during the encore
applause break. Transitions have been smoothed out to be as seamless as possible and
you may have to listen closely on headphones to find any of them...

No EQ was done in
the mastering process.

Enjoy & Share!
