... And Bootlegs For All




Megadeth - Live in Darien Center, NY, USA, 1991

 Venue: Lakeside Ampitheater, Darien Lake: Darien Center, NY, USA
 Date: June 26, 1991
 Time: 50:48
 Size: 1 CD

 Sound: AUD C
 Notes: I have two versions of this recording. Both same source. Taper: Smores. The first source gen/lineage unknown. The second is as follows: Maxell UR90 cass (?) > Optimus SCT-57 playback deck > plugin enhanced Adobe Audition 1.5 (recording at 24/96, speed correction, NR, EQ, limiting, track splitting) > TLH (SBE fix, flac 8). Comments by }{eywood, who did transferring and mastering of the tape: "The tapes for these were copied from lower generation tapes whose azimuth was severely out of alignment. The resulting loss of high end and in-a-bucket sound to the midrange were fairly difficult to counteract. At least this time there wasn't a lot hiss, proving that the misalignment was only on the tape generation previous to this one and not several gens back. All that being said I think I did a fairly decent job at restoring the damage and making this a listenable, although still for the hardcore fan, recording again. Hopefully the taper will one day share the master.
Both recordings sound pretty much the same, although the Smores source, remastered, as aforementioned, sounds a little bit louder and clearer. Nevertheless, for true hardcore collectors or people who attended the gig - distant, barely listanable/readable lyrics/music..
