In this volume we get the 2nd show from New
York in late February 90;
You Gotta Move was published in edited form on a promotional
3" CD-single (Fun House FXD 5029) in Japan in August 1990 with around 2’30
of music deleted
at 4’15. There was previously another audience
recording from this
show which was often saturated, with a muddy sound and a poor spectrum.
Maidenlane's version is very interesting because it has a
better sound and it’s around 2’30 minutes more complete. So it has been decided
to combine both
recordings trying to have the most complete recording with the best possible
sound.
Maidenlane recording provided the 15 first seconds from
the tuning.
Shake Your Moneymaker was a real puzzle to reconstruct.
Due to the length of
the tapes used, the 2 recorders stopped in roughly the same place in the first
part of Shake Your Moneymaker but Maidenlane was much quicker to restart the
recording while the other taper lost almost 2 minutes.
This track is now more
complete but there remains a cut (marked by a fade in/out) at 1’49; in the
previous recording there was also a 21 second cut at 4’51 for which only the
Maidenlane recording is present.
To summarize for this song:
0’00
to 1’49: only Maidenlane
fade
in/out
1’49
to 1’59: only Maidenlane
1’59
to 4’51: both sources
4’51
to 5’13: only Maidenlane
5’13
to the end both sources
All
recordings have been edited, de-clicked and their channels rebalanced and
synchronized.
The mixed version is the most complete and contains the passages where
there is only the recording from Maidenlane (see above), these passages were
not retained for the merged version except for the short patch in part 2 of Shake
Your Moneymaker which otherwise would have been cut. Here the merged version is
a ut better, in my opinion, since it provides a wider stereo experience.
