This recording is a good one to get to see how the band progressed since they first played together. The material is much the same, and it shows some real progress for the playing and new song development (later became the "Procession" album). I wish I could say the recording quality is great, but it isn't. I was sitting very far back and the sound quality wasn't so good back there. I was in the middle of a pack of people who were more interested in talking than listening. The tape hasn't held up all that well either. There's about a 20-minute section of the recording that has high frequencies dropped out. This section just doesn't sound so crisp. I did my best to repair it, but you can still tell. The rest of the recording is pretty decent. So because of the mediocre quality, and tape drop-outs, I've given it a B/B+ quality rating. The true highlight of the show was the second encore. The Manhattan Transfer joined Weather Report to sing Birdland together. Weather Report Memorial Concert Series This has been long overdue, and will still take a while to complete. I wanted to release all of my Weather Report, Wayne Shorter, and Jaco Pastorius recordings as part of a "Memorial" to Weather Report and its members. Some of these recordings were given to friends many years ago, but most have never had a proper mastering or released. So to most people, I think these will be completely new recordings. And when you see how many of them and how good the recording quality and show quality is, then you'll probably ask: WTF...why haven't these ever been released? Answer is simple: time. I knew releasing this many previously unreleased recordings was going to take a lot of time. Some people may have copies of these one or more generations down from the master. All of these will be coming to you directly from the master recordings. ----- Lineage: AUD> Nakamichi 350 ---> Nakamichi Dragon (playback) ---> Korg MR1000 (5.6 Mhz, 1-bit master tape) ---> Down sample to 96Khz, 32-bit using Korg Audiogate ---> iZotope RX-Advanced (noise reduction, spectral editing) ---> HarBal (EQ matching to try to fix some things) ---> Sound Forge (put the concert back together) ---> iZotope RX-Advanced (downsample, dither) ---> CD Architect (CD Audio) ---> EAC ---> FLAC |
