DVD 333; lineage: Soundboard recording. Master Reel > DAT or CD-R > CD-R(1) > FLAC.

Almost 15 years ago, a friend of mine told me that a co-worker of his had recorded the Flying Burrito Brothers in the late '60s. As the story goes, the guy was something of an audiophile and had recorded this show on reel to reel in stereo, of sorts, with one mic on the stage and another spread far apart.

While the recording had circulated before, the guy went back to his original reels and did what was described as a "meticulous transfer." I don't know if it was done on a computer or on a standalone, but what was sent to me were two CD-Rs. I'm pretty sure they were straight off his DAT or the CD-R set he had made for himself direct from the reels. The quality of his transfer was superior to anything I had heard before. The lineage here is Master Reel > DAT or CD-R > CD-R(1) > FLAC.

The credits below are from the notes he sent to me with the discs. Some titles and spellings differ slightly from what's listed on some websites as are the order of the sets. You make the call.

The Band: Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Michael Clarke and Chris Ethridge, joined by Clarence White
