1974-12-14 Colston Hall
Bristol Somerset England (T-308)
I got the cassette tapes for this in trade from a guy in England in 1975
or 1976. I don't know the generation but I believe it is low. The main
problem with the source tapes is that the left channel drops out several
times in the show. This happens the worst during SOYCD and You've Got To
Be Crazy. This was most likely due to a bad mic connection while making
the original recording. I have never heard another version that doesn't
have this same problem. I used the right channel for both when there was
a loss of the left channel. I've also fixed a nagging little edit
problem at about the 12:00 point of SOYCD. You probably won't be able to
tell exactly where unless you compare different versions with this one
very closely. SOYCD and Any Colour You Like were split between sides on
the cassettes so I put them back together. There is a crackeling noise
in a couple of places just before the cassette tape runs out.
This has always been one of my favorite shows even with the problems.
The audience was very quiet and respectful something that just doesn't
happen anymore.
A few years ago I did another transfer of these tapes to CD-r. I traded
it one time. There are at least two other versions of this show
available on CD-r, one is called Heavy Fog in Bristol. I've checked it
out and it is from that first tape to CD-r transfer I did a few years
ago. The other is Brainwaves Coherence Bristol I haven't heard it but
suspect it is a clone of the Heavy Fog version. I'm starting to feel
like I'm competing with myself.
