This is the second of the 2 Nov. 81 shows (the other was Nov. 3rd) and my 1st Miles Davis master recording. (I wish that had come about 12 years sooner, but better late than never). This was my 1st time at the Bradford Ballroom, I was in front row balcony and everything comes through surprisingly clearly, even though I was in the back of the room, because there was no obstruction of the mike to the stage. (their balcony is set up much like Symphony Hall, only a few rows deep and goes all the way around the room) this was the Man with the Horn tour, and the songs all run together (it has to, this is a Miles Davis show, after all) so I did the best I could to track the show properly. the only interruption of the recording was during a percussion solo about 45 minutes into the 1st set, an inconspicuous tape flip cut) A very listenable recording and a good performance of the 1981 edition Miles band. this is the second transfer of this recording to digital. this one came out overall sonically clearer, and probably also correct speed while the previous one may have been slightly off, there was one part where an attempt to remove a nasty mike bump messed up a very brief section of the recording (slightly, still probably better than it was before) I really don't like to do that, but even with that, this is still likely the best this recording has ever sounded. it's also a hometown show for Mike Stern, who is from Boston area. |
