The (Nearly) Complete 78
Soundchecks
Soundchecks before concerts
1978-00-00
Musicians: Bob Dylan (vocals & guitar), Billy
Cross (lead guitar), Alan Pasqua (keyboards), Steven Soles (rhythm guitar,
backup vocals), David Mansfield (violin & mandolin), Steve Douglas (horns),
Jerry Scheff (bass), Bobbye Hall (percussion), Ian Wallace (drums). Helena
Springs, Jo Ann Harris, Carolyn Dennis (background vocals).
Source: Aud
Lineage: CD-Rs > EAC (secure
mode) > CoolEdit Pro > CD Wave > FLAC Frontend > .flac (level 5)
Taped by: ?
Transferred by: ?
Sound Quality: passable to
god-awful (I have posted an .mp3 with brief excerpts from each date so that you
may judge whether this set is for you or not. Just follow the thread down a few posts.)
Sound Processing/Editing: minor
noise reduction, treble boost, bass cut & normalizing on most tracks; 09-17-78
edited from two separate versions of the same source (the lesser quality
version was speed corrected to match the better quality one); 07-05-78 has
beginning & end cut on account of serious mic abuse by the taper. While I myself processed these files,
to my ears they bear traces of previous sound processing (particularly the
Paris soundchecks), so I really don't want to take full credit, particularly
when the sounds get a bit "watery." Still, they sound a heck of a lot better than what I
received. My original intent in
fact was to distribute them "as is," but in the course of listening
them for errors I decided that the trade off between "virgin" files
and processed files was a reasonable & worthwhile one.
File Size: 1,708 megs .flac
Notes: These tracks are difficult
to listen to at times (e.g., 07-04-78), but highly rewarding. I originally received these as a 6 disk
set, but have decided to segregate them according to date, assuming that many
will probably burn a "best-of" disk or two, and keep the rest
archived for that occasional listen.
I bounced all tracks off of Olof's files & listed discrepancies
where I found them (11-02-78 is extremely peculiar; see below). On account of his listings I assume
that this set is incomplete, but not by much. Hence the title.
For the most part I have not listed "flaws" since they are
numerous. Surely there are better
versions of these recordings circulating out there in Dylan-land, so please
consider these as an educational tool till better comes around. Heck, maybe several hundred years down
the road one of Dylan's great-great grandkids will unearth a soundboard or two
from these dates ;-).

between 3&4. So, caveat emptor

I had a Crazy idea. Since I have all of the 1984 shows and
since right now is the 20th
anniversary of those shows I
thought it would be cool to release each show to STG on the
date of the actual show plus 20
years. This show is interesting
because it has a different
setlist then any other show and
has a few gems not played again on this tour. So, here is
the first and we'll see if I can
keep up. Enjoy.
