comments:
  Yeah, I know I let my master of 6/16/79 go because I didn't care much for Cheap
Trick at this time, but not this one. Why? Who knows. Partly because my tape 2 of
this has a master aud of a band I listen to even less than Cheap Trick (Bellvista).
This tape has barely been played, 1st time on CD. I think this may even be a whole
show, and the longest Cheap Trick show I've ever heard (the interview tracks are all
very short). Only 1 tape flip between songs, no music is missing at all from the
broadcast. I'm still no expert on this group, I think this was the Dream Police tour.
There is just the very slightest static in a few parts, so quiet it's inaudible during
the music (if it's even there at all), which is all crisp and clear. Not sure what
deck recorded this, it was from a Sansui 8 reciever onto Maxell UD 90 min. cassettes
(dolby off, normal bias and EQ setting). Cheap Trick must have been big at this time,
since this is a "Superstars in Concert" broadcast. The sound in the OSPAC is pretty
nice, this is not an "arena" show. It all comes from the master tape in 3 step torrent
fashion for you, no CD or tape lineage except the original master tape. Now my favorite
CT is circa 78 but they still sound pretty rockin' here. I haven't seen this show up yet,
so figured I'd give it a shot. This is my 1st upload to TTD. Hope it works out, plan to
have some more of various things if it does. I have done successful uploads before, so
unless the Den has something really funky/unfamiliar to me about their system, this
should work smoothly.
Do not sell this recording.
Trade freely and losslessly.
Keep the trick cheap.
