REVIEW: |
This is the recording of the first show in San Francisco, the longest one
so far; f
or
this show there were 2 sources: the first one was a lossless audience
recording, running too fast but more complete than source #2. The second
source, coming from JEMS, had a better sound than source #1, but had some
dropouts and some parts were edited.
For this
project have been uploaded
3 versions (only with lossless material):
- Vol 05a corresponding to the first
source
- Vol 05b corresponding to the second
source
- Vol 05c is a 'Frankenstein version':
the most complete recording as a merge of the 2 circulating versions, which is
the one reviewed here; th
is wa
s an assay to get the more complete recording using both sources.
The common parts have been merged:
source #2 is on the left channel and was used for the speed synchronization
source #1 is on the right channel.
These merges took a very long time to make because there are many small
speed variations in one of the recordings (or both?).
In detail, on Disc One: the
Band introduction coming solely from source #2, Everybody
Oughta Make A Change (merged) except for the first 5 seconds which are solely
coming from #2, on
Lay Down Sally
Andy Fairweather Low is on
guitar. Sad Sad Day/ Have You Ever Loved A Woman/Ramblin’ On My Mind was merged except 17 seconds (from 9’04 to 9’20) which are
solely coming from #2, while Cocaine
fades in.
Don’t Talk To
Me was merged except for the last 5 seconds which are
solely coming from #2, Watching The River Flow was merged except for the
first second which is solely coming from #2 and the last 20 seconds coming
solely from #1. On Feelin’ Alright Bill Wyman is on
backing vocals; note a little
default at 0’06. Seven Days was merged except for the last 16 seconds which are solely coming from #1; On Disc Two Star Cycle was merged except for the 1st minute
which is solely coming from #1, The Pump was merged except 11 seconds (from
4’59 to 5’10) which are solely coming from #2,
Definitely Maybe was merged except for the
last 34 seconds which are solely coming from #2; People Get Ready and Going Down had Andy Fairweather Low on vocals. They
have been merged except 29 seconds (from 1’45 to 2’14) and the 2 minutes
intermission break which are solely coming from #1.
On Who’s To Blame Paul Rodgers and City Sirens Paul Rodgers was on vocals,
they were merged except 11 seconds (from 3’35 to 3’46)
which are solely coming from #2. On Boogie Mama
Paul Rodgers on
vocals and guitar). On Midnight Moonlight
Paul Rodgers was on vocals, it
was merged except for the last 49 seconds which are solely coming from #2.

solely coming from #2 and the last 16 seconds which are solely coming from #1.
