Taper Notes:
This show was a last minute deal for me giving me little time to prepare. Unfortunately I lent out my usual mics to a friend so I was forced to use the internal mics on my Tascam DR-05 which are far less than ideal but better than nothing. My comp'd seat in the very last row of the venue didn't help either but I couldn't argue with the free price.

The IEM source was Dewey Bunnell's earfeed so his voice is naturally high in the mix. This feed was not very good since it contained mainly Dewey's voice and guitar with not much of the rest of the band coming through. I mixed both sources as best I could but given the limitations of each the final product was less than ideal but better than nothing.

Overall a good show and the highlight for me was Gerry's banter about the venue being a little overzealous on the security. His reference to the "great Air Supply riot of 2008" was classic.

::: EXC quality, super stereo FM broadcast. Check samples for personal trials & tribulations.
::: Warts: Very, very slight hum & distortion. Dull spots were mostly rapairable but actual dropouts difficult due to extreme stereo imaging. I definitely did not get 'em all!
::: (*) My tape said 1972-11-15?. It circulates as 1972-11-15 but the excellent Whisky list at http://www.chickenonaunicycle.com shows NO America appearance ever & Nov. 15-18, 1972 as Sylvester & The Hot Band, Hemlock featuring Miller Anderson. The Whiskey had many unannounced bands, but since America did early & late shows the evening of this recording, I'm not sure what's up.

2. The sound on some tracks is somewhat muted.

3. Many tracks fade in/out after the DJ's chatter was removed. All of it has been removed from this version: both within & between songs.

4. This was a double feature on the "France Inter" radio program. The first band that night was Poco

Notes

Here is the other half of the tape from the Whiskey show. As mentioned the sound quality is a lot better. The taper must have cut out commercials or station identifcation as the tunes end with a silent gap. I edited most of them out to flow better. A solid reprensentation of early America.
