NoteA really solid audience recording best enjoyed with a nice set of studio headphones. The Sonic mics are really optimized for this - to me, the mics sound like they have the clarity of digital but the warmth of analog.

Working on APlay's (in)famous "box of DATs", most of these shows are un-or-under-circulated. This one has been out there in various forms over the years, here it is directly from the master.

A little history ... back "in the day", I received a clone of these dats and mastered them to CD as "Ocean Boulevard Blues" (http://www.geetarz.org/reviews/clapton/oceanboulevardblues.htm). Copies of these recordings also circulated on analog cassette, and I've seen them posted elsewhere incorrectly using the artwork I created for the digital set, which obviously leads to some confusion. With this release, you have the definitive, easily identifiable version of this show.

APlay tends to run his levels right up near the 0dB mark, so there really wasn't much to do here other than format it for CD. This recording was NOT "Tweaked with Audacity" ... no digital bits were harmed in the making of this set.
