| Recorded at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Colisseum, Uniondale, NY, USA. Good but incomplete audience recording. From the info file: Pink Floyd Nassau Veterans Memorial Colisseum, Uniondale, NY 24 February 1980 Recorder 3 Lineage: alleged master cassette > Maxell XLII cassette (alleged 1st gen) > Tascam 112MKII > MOTU 828MKII FireWire @ 24-bit/96kHz > Logic Studio 7 > AIFF > xACT > FLAC (24-bit/96kHz) Quality: VG Contents: Side A [The Thin Ice - The Last Few Bricks] Side B [The Last Few Bricks - Waiting for the Worms] I've had this on my hard drive for over a year, and figured it was time to get it out there, even in rough form. I got this tape in the late 1990s from Tom W., who claimed he and some friends had taped it as well as other shows in the 1980 Nassau Coliseum run. However, he also sent me another tape that purported to be a cassette copy of a private, small-pressing vinyl copy of his master of 1980-02-26, but which actually was 1980-02-28. (And we all know how common LPs of 1980-02-28 are.) Bottom line: intending no disrespect to Tom W., I'd take this lineage with a grain of salt. On the bright side, this tape is definitely 1980-02-24 (I checked the comments before Run Like Hell), and clearly a different recorder from the one shared by kbrubaker, littlepieces and neonknight (which I'll call Rec. 1). It's closer to the stage (or one of the speaker stacks) but is comparatively low-fidelity, with much less high end and stereo imaging. I've chosen to label this tape Rec. 3, and here's why. All known tapes of Rec. 1 start at Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, and end with a bit of Stop. Some releases have a patch that supplies the missing beginning and end of the show, and from what I understand, this patch comes from a Rec. 2 that has the full show. There was some debate about this, but littlesheep's research seems to clearly indicate that Rec. 2 is a separate recorder. Since my tape doesn't include the beginning, I don't think it's the same as Rec. 2. So I'm labeling it as Rec. 3 for the moment, or you could just call it the 'Tom W. source'. BTW, Tom said he had the last part of this show on a second tape, but he couldn't find it when we made our trade. This transfer was made with a Tascam 112MKII going into a MOTU 828MKII FireWire at 96kHz/24-bit, with analog pitch correction on playback. The tape originally ran between 6% and 8% fast, varying as the show went on; I corrected for the lower number, so some parts are consequently a smidge fast. I also made a separate transfer at 44.1kHz/16-bit, and may edit and upload that at some point. This source, however, is 100% raw, untracked, and comes as two big files. It's far inferior to Rec. 1, and though I haven't heard Rec. 2 I suspect it's inferior to that as well. But here it is, nonetheless! |
