Announcer outro The Nashville Queens are: Davey Faragher - bass, vocals (backgr) Gary Ferguson - drums David Immerglück - lead guitar, pedal steel, mandolin, vocals (also "that funny little wooden thing" in "Ethylene") Notes: * This show was part of a singer/songwriter weekend at Penn's Landing * Announcer's "little headliner" comment at the beginning of the show is a sly reference to Hiatt's then-current album ("Little Head") Lineage: DAT master > Sony PCM-R500 (playback) > HHB CDR-850 (burning) > CDR, then CDR > EAC > WAV > Editing (see below) > FLAC Frontend > FLAC Editing notes: * Re-tracked show (combined WAV files in Nero, then re-split with CD Wave) * To adjust for the gradual volume increase in Track 1 on the source, I increased the volume of Track a by +4dB (for 0:00-1:20) and +2dB (for 1:20-1:28). As a result, the volume of Track 1 is now much more level. * The overall volume of the show was a little on the low side; however, the volume of Track 14 was roughly 3dB higher than the other tracks in the show. In order to address these volume issues, I conservatively added only 2dB to everything but Track 14 since I wanted to avoid any undue clipping. * I excluded a 55-second track of pre-recorded music that followed the announcer outro at the end of the show About "The RS Archives": The RS Archive consists of a selection of live recordings made by a great individual who passed away in 2005. RS worked in the music industry in many capacities….a music fan….a musician….a sound engineer. He was considered one of the best behind the mixing board. I was honored to have known him for practically 35 years. There was no one like him….he was a wonderful human being. Everybody loved him. He was a level-headed guy who knew what sounded good and what didn't. He could conceive and design sound systems from scratch in his head to meet the artist’s needs. Whatever they wanted, he could do. For years, he mixed music at the annual Grammy Awards and the American Music Awards television show. RS worked closely for years with Daryl Hall and John Oates, Juice Newton, Anita Baker, Mariah Carey, Tears for Fears, Crack the Sky, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Aretha Franklin, Pink Floyd, Whitney Houston, Bette Midler, Ann Murray, Michael Bolton, Kenny G, Tony Bennett, Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, John Fogerty, Bonnie Raitt, Frank Sinatra, John Hiatt, Little Feat, Little Village, and Waylon Jennings…..to name a few. He had a huge reputation in the business, and that's why he was chosen to work with such budding clients as Mariah Carey. With the major stars, he was one of the preferred engineers they choose to work with. A particular client of RS who had a reputation for firing sound engineers with great regularity was Anita Baker, whom he won over not only with his technical abilities and personality, but with his refusal to put up with her criticism. He quit a few times but always came back because she loved the way he mixed her music. He could coddle difficult and temperamental celebrities, and they respected his work. He was able to kick back and get along with them. Even though he knew these people, he was a very modest man. So now, it is time to honor him by sharing some of the many recordings he made while on the road. All are perfect (or near perfect) soundboard recordings made from the master cassettes or master dat tapes. Unfortunately, I am not able to identify the original equipment these tapes were made on, however I can say that for the transferring process, the cassette tapes were played back on a Nakamichi CR-7A, and the dat tapes on a Sony PCM-R500. They were all burnt onto cdr using a HHB CDR-850. Please enjoy these tasty gems! Mexminute (fellow DIME member).
