I've had this on my hard drive for over a year, and figured it was time to get
it out there, even in rough form.
I got this tape in the late 1990s from Tom W., who claimed he and some friends
had taped it as well as other shows in the 1980 Nassau Coliseum run. However, he
also sent me another tape that purported to be a cassette copy of a private,
small-pressing vinyl copy of his master of 1980-02-26, but which actually was
1980-02-28. (And we all know how common LPs of 1980-02-28 are.) Bottom line:
intending no disrespect to Tom W., I'd take this lineage with a grain of salt.
On the bright side, this tape is definitely 1980-02-24 (I checked the comments
before Run Like Hell), and clearly a different recorder from the one shared by
kbrubaker, littlepieces and neonknight (which I'll call Rec. 1). It's closer to
the stage (or one of the speaker stacks) but is comparatively low-fidelity, with
much less high end and stereo imaging.
I've chosen to label this tape Rec. 3, and here's why. All known tapes of Rec. 1
start at Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, and end with a bit of Stop. Some
releases have a patch that supplies the missing beginning and end of the show,
and from what I understand, this patch comes from a Rec. 2 that has the full
show. There was some debate about this, but littlesheep's research seems to
clearly indicate that Rec. 2 is a separate recorder.
Since my tape doesn't include the beginning, I don't think it's the same as Rec.
2. So I'm labeling it as Rec. 3 for the moment, or you could just call it the
"Tom W. source". BTW, Tom said he had the last part of this show on a second
tape, but he couldn't find it when we made our trade.
This transfer was made with a Tascam 112MKII going into a MOTU 828MKII FireWire
at 96kHz/24-bit, with analog pitch correction on playback. The tape originally
ran between 6% and 8% fast, varying as the show went on; I corrected for the
lower number, so some parts are consequently a smidge fast.
I also made a separate transfer at 44.1kHz/16-bit, and may edit and upload that
at some point. This source, however, is 100% raw, untracked, and comes as two
big files. It's far inferior to Rec. 1, and though I haven't heard Rec. 2 I
suspect it's inferior to that as well. But here it is, nonetheless!
