One of These Days Liner notes: ------------ A friend gave me a copy of this show on cassette (off of his copy) in the late 1980's. At that time this recording represented the best of the 1973 shows which clearly indicates how few excellent recordings there are from this tour. Most of the best recordings still have a 'hollow' and 'distant' sound to them and this one is no exception. One of the things that sets this one apart from others is the great performance that the band gave that night highlighted by Nick Mason's drumming (how often can you say that?). For the initial Harvested release (back in January 2001) my friend loaned my his own copy in order to eliminate a generation. I'm pretty sure that he tracked down the master and that's where his copy came from. If not, then this is transferred from a 2nd gen cassette. This was very early on in the HRV days and I did all the work myself on this one. I'm pretty sure that what I did was to balance all of the audio levels, sequence the songs, and perhaps apply a bit of EQ. I don't think that I used any NR here and if I did the spectrum analysis displays how minimally it was used. Ed was around for the final quality check and this is when we 1st started using the Shorten (.shn) format. In November 2005, MOB applied a needed speed-correction, creating this RevA, as the original tapes played a bit fast. I really love the 1973 tour because the band wasn't burned out from playing DSOTM yet and I'm especially fond of the opening number (OBC/WYI). This recording becomes very listenable after a few minutes if you just let yourself get into it. The New York, Boston and Hollywood (FL not CA) shows are also worth checking out. Enjoy! RonToon |
