This was an already (surprisingly) good sounding recording, just tried to give a bit more depth and instrument definition to the show, as it's probably the best sounding thing we'll ever get from the Talk tour as long as Steve Howe is still alive. 





Original release notes: 

This is a new weed for the 6/19/1994 Canandaguia, NY Talk show, distributed as SHN. Most of the show origniates from the famous "Endless Dream" silver CD boot, and those parts have been left un-altered (though they have been put back in the original order). It sounded great already, with only a little bit of static from the Concertsonics recordings.

However, it was incomplete. The first seven minutes or so of this show were missing from the "Endless Dream" boot, and also some of the intros to some of the other songs were cut as well. I don't know if they were left off for time considerations, or perhaps static in the original recording, or whatever. 

However, thanks to a fellow Yesswapper, David D, I've been able to find an alternate concertsonics recording of this show, and have patched all the missing pieces. The alternate recording patches needed to be speed and piched adjusted to match the rest of the show. The left and right channels were also evened out.

This was a pretty rough tape, definitely a 2nd or 3rd gen copy of the original SBD, almost not worth working with but for the inclusion of the rarely played "Jig Is Up." Unfortunately to get any real detail out of this tape meant introducing some of the kind of prickly treble that is often unappetizing, so it's a bit of a lesser of two evils choice for this show. On the other hand, the SBD recording itself is very well recorded, a nice balance of both guitars, hopefully a lower gen tape will surface one day.

Remaster notes:

A VERY clean (digital?) soundboard from 1988. Unfortunately along with that crispness came a frustrating lack of bass. "And Justice For All" had come out mere weeks before...coincidence? Isolated Tom's bass as much as possible via DeMix Pro, separated the vocal track to get a better balance, but left the rest alone. Boosted the overall low end in mastering to help boost Tom's presence and compensate for the thinness of the original sources as well, and attempted to minimize an annoying high frequency in the high hat a bit. 

The overproduced Permanent Vacation tracks like "Dude" and "Rag Doll" that have a lot of processed drums and tracks/keyboard samples don't fare as well, they're much more blatant in this mix than presumably were in the house that night, but overall this is still a solid document of their early MTV era.
