Recorded by Audioarchivist
One of my very first mastering jobs, done with a friend’s computer years ago by request for a close fellow taper, I naively only burned myself 1 audio copy and my friend 1 audio copy before the computer’s owner deleted my files. There was an intro for a few minutes before the PA kicked into canned intro music rapid edited to the start presented here. Unknown to me at the time, the computer’s owner also sabotaged the original files just before I did the audio cd burning, eliminating the 7 or 8 minute (non Stevie) pre-amble and intro…
I do still have the original cassettes, have not done the Joe Cocker set to digital yet, haven’t got plans to ReMaster the SRV set for a long while from original tapes. There’s too many other tapes un-digitized to do!
I was sitting up on the upper right side (stage left) in the blues. Pretty packed house, If I remember. The PA was loud enough, clear enough, and I wished I was on the floor (packed and reserved seats). The crowd rushed the stage during the mellowest song (Riviera Paradise), and Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) was jammed on by the Joe Cocker band’s Bass player.
An amazing show, it would only be a month or so before tragedy struck, and Stevie would be taken from us. I had also seen him a year and a bit earlier in May 1989 at Vancouver’s Orpheum, had attempted to record using inferior borrowed gear, and suceeded in taping the first few notes, missing half an hour, and getting the end of the show in pretty dismal quality, compared to this show… Years later another taper buddy came forth with the first 45 minutes of that show on an equal sounding (not so good) source. He proceeded to record over my side 1 with the first few notes intro , the 1/2 hour blank spot, and the last 15 minutes of actual recorded show,before flipping to side 2 to record fine (again)!
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I missed him completely on my birthday Dec 5, 1989, a show I was just up the road from getting, uh, distracted… (Thanks Athena!) There is an awful sounding tape of this show out there somewhere, I;ve got a XX generation copy on high speed dubbed tape to prove it exists… but that’s all part of another long and meandering story…
It’s always been nagging at the back of my mind that there’s WAY too many people who knew about this tape’s existence from me telling everyone about it after the show, but not enough people who actually heard it, nevermind had a copy of it.
It is with humple pride that I make it available to you all now…
