    Very good, Sue. You might give Wilson and Blue Congo a run for their money.

    Some questions...

    The soundboard tape is cut during the keyboard solo. Does the audience tape have the entire NQ without any gaps? 

    What percentage do you split the input of the two tapes? 50/50? Or do you favour one tape more than the other?

    Both the soundboard and the main audience source I used had cuts in different places. For the soundboard's cut I just made a hard cut into only the audience source brought up to level with the rest and for the audience tape's cut I patched in the Artie source. As far as the mixing I lowered the volume of the audience tape by -7 decibels. The only times I keep the audience tape either as loud or nearly as loud as the soundboard is if the audience tape is of exceptionally good and clean sound quality, like the newly released tape for 1979/08/11 or the matrices I've done of a couple of Page & Plant shows.

    June 7, 1977 Madison Square Garden via EVSD's Madison Sound Boogie soundboard.

    My lord, this is an almost perfect "Kashmir"...except for Jimmy's cock-up at the end. Even still, I put it in my Top 10 Kashmirs of all-time.

    Here's a matrix I just made of  No Quarter from that show! My personal favorite '77 NQ currently available in soundboard form.

     

  3. In My Time of Dying....how I wish they had never done it live. I alternate gritting my teeth to endure it to keep the 'entire gig experience' or, more often than not, i just skip it. Or is this some kind of heresy?

    It's not one of my favorites either. I usually skip the drum solos unless I'm going for a full show experience, but a lot of people do that so I'm not sure of that counts. I used to skip the long jam songs like No Quarter and Dazed but eventually I stopped skipping them. I also used to skip SIBLY but I like that song more now too. I skip Stairway a lot but that's only cuz I'm not always in the mood to hear it plus if its a show where I know that Jimmy botches the solo. I sometimes skip the '73 and '75 Rock and Rolls.

  4. Considering that it seems to me that the 'new' soundboards that get released usually pop up (or get announced) around this time of year, it seemed appropriate to ask...

    Whaddya think it's gonna be next time? '75 or '77?

    Probably '75. We're at a very interesting time because if EVSD doesnt have any shows from before 1975/02/12, there's a strong chance that something unheard like Houston '75 or a really good show like 1975/03/12 or the second night in Seattle or one of the LA shows could come out. Also maybe San Diego which I've heard is supposed to be a really good show. Now '77 on the other hand, all that's left from the 2nd leg is Birmingham (which could make a good matrix), Baton Rouge(!), Greensboro(!!), the other NYC dates (!!!) and LA(!!!!). Tampa could be released as a bonus disc. Anything EVSD releases within these parameters would be an absolute treat.
