In this volume we get the Boston show from late May 89; f
or this show two recordings were
already circulating.
The line-up for this concert was: Mick Tayloe on guitar
and vocals, Max Middleton on keyboards, Shane Fontayne on guitar, Wilbur
Bascomb on bass and Eric Parker on drums.
One (source
#1) had a typical saturated sound but had the complete intro & tuning and was
lossless. The other version (source #2) had a better sound but was lossy, missed
a part of the intro and had some speed problems in the second disc.
The
Maidenlane recording is interesting because for the first time it contains the
2nd encore which was missing in all the other recordings and the sound
is good. Therefore, it was decided to create two versions: one was presented as
the Maidenlane ALTS Vol 11 and the other is this one that combines all the sources
to get the best sound and the most complete recording.
Source #1 had
to be decelerated by -1%. On disc one, since there were some gaps between the
tracks in source #2, the banter only comes from #1.
At the end of the intro the announcement
is repeated two times, this is not a mistake. In Red House a 32 second patch was
used to complete version #1.
Lots of tests were done to find out the best combination, which proved to
be a mix between the 2 previous versions, but because of speed problems on source
#2, the second part of the show is a mix between the 1st source and
the Maidenlane recording.
The outcome is excellent and once again t is possible to dig a great
recording that besides the previously unavailable 2nd encore has
also Stranger In This Town.
