Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band The Backdoor @ San Diego State University San Diego, CA, USA February 16, 1978 Late Show Source Location: General admission open floor, trying to be centered to the speakers Master Cassettes: Sony Low Noise C60 (tape 1) & TDK SD C60 (tape 2) Recorder: Sony Walkman WM-R2 with onboard microphones Lineage: Master Cassettes > Tascam CC-222SL MKII cassette deck > Sony PCM-M10 Recorder @ 24/96 > Hard Drive Processing: Adobe Audition: joind three cassette sides to a single file, fade in at the head and fade out at the tail, boosted entire file by +2 db, pitch corrected +75 cents based on the tuning at the end of track 4, cut out some cassette starts and stops during the applause in track 14. Starting at 1:10 of track 16 there is print through on the right channel. It seems that the recordist may have used a tape with some material already recorded, and that the erase head did not fully eliminate this before the new recording was made. I considered how to manage this, and decided I would include two each of tracks 16 & 17 - a stereo track with some print through and a mono track with none. You can decide which ones to keep.
