Blues”

COOPS2009 NOTES FOR MS-190:
Now this is more like it, steady generally clear and very sharp, as
well as a very nice show. Certainly one not to miss.

Remember even if you have some of the Daves films already that at best your copies will be 2 generations poorer than anything in the Masters series, so get em all.
These will be with original sound though many will feature as sound upgrades eventually with my two mates Yassou and Madhasse helping out.

LB NOTES FOR LB-1468:
I just received an upgrade of this excellent '98 show. Features the only performance of "The Times We Have Known"; excellent sound

RELATED NOTE FOR LB-4230:
different recording than LB-0000 1468 based on different crowd at end of d1t2; in comparison that one has more bass and fuller sound and makes this one sound light but this has more pleasant vocals; excellent sound [A]; d1t9 has about 30 seconds of silence at end.

NOTES FROM OLAF’S FILES:
BobTalk
...I usually only play these songs when I'm all by myself, but I feel like I'm all by myself now. (before The Times We’ve Known).
