This may sound pathetic, but I downloaded Hardpan’s 3+ Hour recording and listen to the whole thing tonight on my flight between Philly and Des Moines. It fit perfectly in the hours between. Ahhh the memories, seems like just yesterday!
I ran into a fellow dancer from the show this afternoon at the local drug store. Nice chat. The after show glow still going strong. A classic recreation of a classic show. Now, with Hardpan’s recording, ....... it ain’t never gonna end!
Wow! Just started listening to your recording -- which is fantastic. They absolutely capture and convey the 1973 sound, the beauty and tempo and freshness and love and everything. I was there, and it takes me right back. Thank you, DSO, and thank you, Hardpan, for sharing it.
Fantastic quality audience. Piping this through the stereo reveals the crisp highs that can get lost in many audience recordings. Bravo brother!!!! I love the feel of being at the show when listening to aud recordings but there’s nothing lacking with the sound like many recordings. Having those mics 15’? in the air I’m guessing helped the sound quality somewhat and kept talkers from affecting the sound as well. That big river was as fast as I remembered it. 1:25 into the 2nd set I left it all on the dance floor with that smoking tempo rendition not realizing I had to survive another 30 minutes of music in that set. Thank you GD for putting a China Doll after Eyes or Id have spent the rest of the night with an IV bag in my arm in a DC hospital next to guys with bullet wounds instead of with good friends chilling with cocktails. 😂
Just got my recording of this show uploaded to the archive if anyone wants to listen to it: https://archive.org/details/dso2018-12-01.nak300.cp1.cp4.flac24
