Total Time ::: 1:32:32

::: EXC quality stereo SBD. Check samples for sonorous absorbability prognostication or brief pulsatory earbytes.
::: Warts: NOTE MANY! Tape in EXC shape. Remarkably few dullspots & most I found were repairable. Few odd noises early in show as Larry gets used to his new bass - mostly repaired. Tapeflip(?) splice in 1st part of #11 (not really audible anymore). Bit o' line hum & hiss in last ~20 minutes as master levels were much lower than the rest. #22 spliced at 1:16 & cuts at 1:38. Several times taper must have realised levels were too hot when singing started & lowered them.
::: Tape only labeled "Buffalo" & date. Couldn't find venue online. Buffalo mentioned in "Truckin" & AUD cheers. At one point Bob says, "It's great to be back at 'Alcos'."(or? club name?). Do YOU know the venue name?
::: Buffalo was the first show of the tour which likely ended 1978-10-16 at The Other End in New York City.

Recording Information ::: stereo soundboard -> master analog stereo tape (reel-to-reel?) -> unknown analog generations (not many 1or2?) -> unknown low generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette, Dolby on (seems to be very narrow stereo mix).

Playback 2014-01-12 ::: unknown generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette on Nakamichi 680ZX cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth & speed adjusted (pitched!) for individual recording, heads cleaned & demagnetized -> Sony Linear PCM Recorder PCM-M10 (LPCM 44.10kHz/16bit WAV files) -> computer -> Audacity [normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment, fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch, bump, pop, click, dropout & dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, NO equalisation] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2014-02-29. (Note: pitch varies slightly, within what I considered to be a normal range & not worth messing with & also lent itself to the reel master theory).

Line-up ::: Robert Hunter - acoustic guitar with effects, vocals // Larry Klein -  Fender 4-string electric bass (his 6-string Alembic had just been lost en route).

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 012 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! ::: Corrections welcome ::: This one goes out in memory of Rich Petlock (one fine bloke), and with a nod to Mr.Berger & Alan B, without whom we'd be missing many of our existing early Hunter recordings. (Mr B, I promise not to use any of those email addresses I just got sent with your recent address book hack, tho' I can't speak for Rob...). REAL nice "Tiger Rose" here... Great rap in the Buddy Holly song "takin' another 3 week tour, gonna make some money, support my family, gotta a little baby on the way...". Love these early Hunter shows, before people really figured it out, or the legions of Dead followers just got so big that Bob couldn't play for such intimate audiences anymore. Another one to put in your earpipe or to byte yr ears with. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
