Recording Equipment - History

Sonic Studios DSM-6P + Sony WM-D6 Pro Walkman > Analog Master (Maxell XLII-S 100)

 

Taper: K.M.

Transfer: Analog Master (Maxell XLII-S 100) > RCA Cables > Tascam DA-20mkII (no SCMS) > DAT-Master > digital output > Edirol UA-D1 > Macintosh Powerbook G4 hard drive via Sound Studio 2.1 for OSX (editing, normalization, track splitting ) > FLAC

 

Additional comments (by the taper): It was recorded live with the Sonic Studios (eyeglass-mount) microphones into a Sony D6 Pro Walkman cassette recorder, on Maxell XLII-S 100 minute cassette tapes. The tapes were played back on the original D6 and fed via RCA cables into the Tascam DAT recorder. The resulting DAT was later played back on the same Tascam, and fed via digital output into the Edirol, and from the Edirol via USB into the Macintosh, where it was transcribed digitally into the Sound Studio application, which was used for digital editing, and produced the AIFF files that were converted to FLAC.

 

Original tape flip occurred between 'Arms Around the World' and 'Angel of Harlem' as band descended to B-stage. Lou Reed was a live guest on 'Satellite of Love', subsequent "Outside Broadcast" shows included Reed's videotaped sound and image. This was the final full band electric performance of 'Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses' until May 28th, 2005 in Boston (MA).

 

Comments

The gig sold out in a Giants Stadium record of 23 minutes. It's the first night of the third leg of the tour, the so-called 'ZooTV Outside Broadcast', and the show is awesome. In my opinion, excellent performance of Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (the last full band performance of the tour). Lou Reed appeared onstage to sing with Bono Satellite of Love.

 

About sound quality, this is a brilliant audience recording, as clarity is excellent and music and vocals come thorugh strong and close, and the overall sound is quite crisp. Audience noise is minimal, although you can hear people cheering from time to time between songs, but not a problem at all.

 

This is a different source from the 'Wanted!' silver bootleg. However, sound quality is pretty similar in both sources, and it seems both tapers were located in the same area. Note this source documents the complete concert, while 'Wanted!' seems to be missing Love is Blindness.
