| Note | a tape trading friend had access to the masters in the early 1990's and ran both
himself & me a gen1 cassette off the masters. not a perfect master by any means, being littered with assorted tape pauses, microphone bumps, off balance imaging, and the bands themselves 'coloring out of the lines' a bit at times. the tape pauses were left intact, which leaves the occasional tape speed change @ the pause point. im far from the person who has the ability to correct those speed changes, although they are less than 1 second long each. for the life of me i cant find my specific notes, which included if it was a cassette or reel 2 reel master tape. my hunch (& lack of memory) leads me to think they were cassettes. note the tapers' "no no!!!" right @ the end of 'magic bus' when the tape runs out. no idea why only 'whole lotta love' was recorded from the zeppelin set. perhaps (& obviously) they just didnt bring enough tape to record both bands, & chose to just capture a taste of the opener, which is one of the earliest known live versions of 'whole lotta love'. on a positive note, the atmosphere is captured nicely and there isnt too much clapping or other audience distractions during the tape. the who's set tracked out to the best of my ability. |
