Notes from the taper
: "This was the first Time I was ALLOWED to record a concert. Metallica decided to allow bootlegging that year, I had taper tickets. There was me and 3 guys with video cameras. The difference is that they brought the same gear they would use during a clandestine recording gig, and I brought a whole bunch of shit...because I could. I recorded this with 4 mics on stands through a mixing board into a DAT. I set up behind the seats along the back of the walkway, put up my mic stands, plugged the mixer into a convenient outlet, threw on some headphones and let it rip. I balanced the mics in the headphones during COC's set and basically left it alone for Metallica. These were not tiny little condenser mics. They were stage mics my band used. 2 were Radio Shack vocal mics. They were based on Shure SM58 technology, but had a much better low end response. That's why I brought them. The other 2 were condensers we used for overheads on the drums. These got all the high end and ambience. Strangely there were 2 security guys assigned to protect the tapers, but no one else that worked there seemed to have any idea what I was up to. I was asked if I worked for MTV, the band and a bunch of other things. My stock reply was "National Hearing Institute. Sound pressure level testing". Hehe
The reason this is from a cassette is that my DAT went missing a few years ago. Damn tiny things they are, easy to lose. Luckily I made a cassette copy to listen to. The tape was de-hissed once digitized, then EQ'd a bit (the DAT was really bright). Other than that this is what the DAT sounded like, though a bit less dynamic."
