Notes (June
2004):
As you
will notice, this particular source page has been sort of like a work in
progress over the course of a few years - there is no reason that this should
cease. As it is, the source information means that the taper recorded the show
then transferred the recording from DAT to cassette via an analog (non digital
line). He then re-used his DAT for another concert. As such, no DAT master/clone
exists. This continues to be one of my personal favorite recordings of Tool -
ever. I do not know exactly why...
Note 1:
As of now, Oct. 1st, 2002, this show
along with 09.29.93 & 10.01.93 are extremely rare. As of Dec. 20th, 2002 --
there are quite a few copies floating around. Which is nice. I must point out
that Per Christian Stoltz's good thinking made it all possible due to his
questioning with the taper. Before now, these shows have not been released -
ever. The same guy taped almost all of the 1993 gigs; amazing how one guy's
hobby of recording can benefit so many other fans, isn't
it?
Note 2: Recording
is in-fucking-credible relating to sound & energy. Some people will,
probably, confuse this with a DAT recording, I could. Very low crowd noise &
almost perfect mix of the instruments make this one of, if not the,
best analog
cassette recordings I've heard. Besides a tape flutter during the first
minute of Intolerance, there an no other negative issues. The crowd is so quiet
that, when listening on headphones between Sober & Prison Sex, you can hear
a plastic cup dropping on the ground, roll, then get kicked by (possibly) the
taper (Per noticed that
first). This recording
is just...why I collect live recordings of Tool; that's all. Nothing more to
say.
Note 3: This was
originally copied (by the taper) a little bit too fast. This new time, below, is
a new rip from the original master tape with the speed fixed so it as it sounded
live rather than being a bit fast.
Notes: by - Ryan A:
This one was remastered from the
original analogue master by Per S. to fix the speed, which ran slightly fast on
the original recording. It sounded good before. It sounds particularly good now,
especially for being an analogue source. Though there is a strange phasing from
clear sound to muffled sound during the first song or two. It almost sounds like
the taper keeps leaning over. But it's more likely a product of the cassette
lineage. And the quality gets better as the show goes on. From the opening
Intolerance, you are thrown into a dizzying locomotion of sound. Tool is
really driving it here; there's not much subtlety. Bottom and Flood (full
version!) are a must-hear. But there are better SD recordings (and
performances). Oh and Paul sounds drunk.
