LB Notes for LB-1384:
originally mis-reported to be the Doberman recording; excellent sound; upgrade over previous version; some background talking d1t10, d2t1 (it turns out this is a different recording than the Doberman release - this one has better sound but has a little more talking as noted); this has very nice bass.

LB notes on LB-4165 state that a seven-way comparison was done on recordings for this date. The best sounding was version "a" LB-1384 with a warmer fuller and more upfront sound, followed closely by the schubert remaster LB-1725 and shepherds best LB-1517. The rest were more distant with the crystal cat being the harshest followed by this one (LB-4165). The doberman (LB-1516) was warmest but not as upfront or full or good of sound.


At one point during this concert, a fan yells out, "You're a genius!" as if further proof was needed to confirm that opinion. But, if anyone still needs convincing, this concert, with its wonderful setlist and powerful performance, would be Exhibit A. The stellar video and audio that was made available for the sound upgrade certainly help the cause, and we're indebted to coops2009 and his generous friend for sharing a previously unreleased film. That, together with needed filler from D277, as well as the superb LB-1384 audio, makes this a "must-have" if ever there was one.
