Comments:
this is the
complete show, apparently from
a reel
master tapesince there is no flip cut.
I have
edited out a couple of short
sections of
the encore break and ending
applause to
make it all fit
well on one
80 minute CD. no songs or stage
talk is
cut. it's not a super crisp high fi
recording but it is stereo, only a little
of the most
barely noticable FM static in a
couple of
spots and it sounds pretty good for
a 36 year
old recording. I thought best to post
this before
the tape becomes too aged to enjoy it. I have
transferred
this to CD long ago, but did a new
transfer
for this posting to spare you any CD
lineage at
all. (just 1 analog generation)
there are
some smith shows that are okay and
others that
kick butt.this is one of the best
aerosmith
performances I've ever heard.
The performance
is raw, bad boys of Boston
rockin'
through a fine GYW era setlist.
I don't
know how it compares soundwise
to other
versions since none of them have
sound samples
included. this one does
so if
you've heard any others you can compare.
it's not
"patched",all from the same 1st gen.
tape
recording over FM radio. some other
sources of
this show come from bootleg CD's
and partial
FM recordings.two encores at a smith
show this
early on was not common, only if it
was a good
show.
