Richard | Although the venue inside was a dirt rodeo arena....the scene outside was always mellow and laid back....a good time was certain for all,California Dreaming at it's best in Ventura. I don't remember much of the show...but I do remember the fun I had outside in the lobby dancing and dancing the night away with somw spinner girls I met.Sure would be great to have this show...If anybody has it plaease share I would be Grateful. |

OldNeumanntapr | This was my second Jerry Garcia Band show. I brought my Nakamichi CM-300s and Sony WM-D6C into the show but wasn't able to use the mics for some reason. I don't remember why. A friend of mine had his D6 patched into a nice set up in the sweet spot; FOB center! It was: Neumann KM-140s (Near Coincident)->Techniques SV-250 DAT->Sony TCD-D5M->(his) Sony WM-D6. Jim's D6 was a first-year model, not a D6C, so it lacked some features of the newer models. His had only Dolby B (which nobody ever used anyway) instead of Dolby C and would not take metal tape. The most important difference in his D6 to mine was that the 1st-year models DID NOT HAVE A LINE OUT! He didn't want me patching into the chain ahead of him so I had to get copies of the show off of the DAT. I thought the show was pretty good, but for some reason my cassette copies have too much bass and the high end is a little muddy. I remember that the taper with the mics had big windscreens over them. Maybe this cut the high end too much. I do remember burning a hole into my brand new Dire Straits 'On Every Street' tour shirt with a joint so that was a small bummer. I went back two years later and taped Jerry at the Ventura Fairgrounds again and this time used a DAT. Much better sound! I lost track of the DAT taper of this show and never upgraded my tape. Etree doesn't seem to list the Neumann source that my cassettes are from. Maybe someday I can get a digital copy of this one because it was a smoker! |
