The Allman Brothers Band
June 28, 1992
Roy Wilkins Auditorium
St. Paul, MN
Remixed & remastered by Mr. Sifter, Feb. 2024
Remaster notes:
As the original description says, this was an almost mono, very flat sounding SBD. Split into stems via DeMix Pro I was able to achieve a decent stereo image and bring out Woody's bass, which seemed almost nonexistent in the original tape. The bass extraction is sometimes inconsistent, but it's better than it was before at least. Unfortunately the keys were a bit buried and there wasn't much that could be done about that, but Dickey, Warren, and Gregg's vocals are nice and clear now. Added a slight bit of verb to make it feel more in line with a proper live album, and fades between "Black Hearted Woman" and "Seven Turns" to make that transition slightly less jarring due to the cuts in the source tape.

I received this in a trade from “jerry” way back in the mid 90s on DAT. According to the notes on the tape it is listed “DSB” for digital soundboard; it sounds like that to me, no real cassette hiss or analog “saturation”. ABB soundboards are really just monitor boards, they are stereo but with a narrow field and they sound rather “flat” in comparison to other artists soundboards i.e. Grateful Dead. I saw the ABB in Louisville 1992 2nd row and never could find a tape, so this is the closest date I could find and a soundboard. There are some egregious cuts , “black hearted woman” is cut on the end which BLOWS since they have a nice triplet “other one” type jam at the end of that tune; why there is a cut there? Did someone flip a cassette down the line? Yes, there is a small drop out in “blue sky” that I seamed and the beginning of “seven turns” is cut , there could be a acoustic tune missing in front, they didn’t open with “seven turns” very much or at all according to set lists? However, it’s a good listen and clean otherwise; it’s difficult to hear a bad performance by this line up … EVER. It’s my favorite line up besides the original line up . 1992 was the BEST year for the line up as well … find a copy of the commercial 1992 LIVE releases, or even better , buy them or download them to support ABB family , all of them are good: Live set 1 and 2, and latter released “play all night: March 10/11, 1992 Beacon Theatre … this source has been previously circulated but this is a “new transfer” …
