Notes:
Wow. This is definitely one
of the most interesting gigs I've heard, or at least the intro is very cool
The first
sound you hear is a church organ which is the intro to Tool's set and plays
for maybe a minute. The taper is messing with his microphones a little as well, very cool. The sound is exceptionally
clear; all instruments are pretty much
balanced out nicely. There is a little bit of chatter between the taper &
his Mancunian friend in-between songs as well- they make some comments on Maynard's tattoo & his haircut. Also, they do
not like Tool nor Maynard's voice so
that makes it all that much more interesting of a recording, for me at
least. There seems to be two different versions of this show now. The
common version was, in my opinion,
transferred to cassette by the master & then the trader or someone else
transferred it onto CD somewhere down the
line. A tiny layer of fuzz gently coats this unknown Gen recording. However,
the 1st Gen cassette > CD transfer has
noticeable improvement in fidelity, crispness and vibrancy and is superior
to the other version. Unfortunately, back in
the day when traders used cassettes, source info was not as requested as it
is these days so the specifics will remain
unknown for the time being. At this point, I am not sure if it is worth it
to trade out a 1st Gen of this seeing as how
it would most likely just confuse things...
Maynardism:
"Hi. We're Tool. We're a
rave band from Manchester so prepare to dance."
Maynardism:
"Something interesting
about the other day, about the time I was fortunate enough to spend some
time
in my room alone with Morrissey. So, after about an hour of fucking his ass
as hard as I could, he reached up
between his legs & gently cupped my balls. Then I said, 'what the fuck is
wrong with you - sensitive guy? What
kind of poof do you think I am? Let go of my balls.'"
