Comments:
Received as straight transfer at 32 kHz from New Homebrew. The set originally included a 7-plus minute portion at the start, consisting of mostly Jeff strumming his guitar as he prepared to play and lots of swirling wind noise. This has been omitted from this presentation. Track splits are mine and differ from New Homebrew's.

Taper's Notes (from A.K.):
Not too bad of a recording, considering the situation. It all came back to me listening to it last night. The first couple tracks is Jeff getting ready to play. He took a while to
get going and to engineer the sound. The third track is when he starts playing. You'll notice during the track that I'm switching back and forth from turning the attenuator on and off. I couldn't get any levels with it on but with it off the wind would be a big factor. What a dilemma!! Well, you'll see that I take the plunge... you can hear the wind but it's not that significant, I think. Lots of crowd interaction.

I've always used two ECM-77b mics. They don't sound too bad. I remember seeing another DAT taper there except he had the full mic set up on stands, etc. I got his name but have long since lost it. I'll let you know when I have it ready to send off.

The Buckley show was a free gig put on by the Student Body Union at UC Berkeley. Outdoors...and windy. I thought I could get away with switching the attenuator off, which I think was fine
but the wind came in and kinda screwed it up...the wind actually distorts the mics if I recall. All in all, I think it was a good recording but I probably haven't listened to it in almost 7-8 years!! I hope all this is okay with you too. Oh yeah...recorded in LP mode.
