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." |
