Source A: Analog  --- Sony Cassette Recorder TCS-580V (built-in mic)
 Taper:       Duncan
Gen:           1st from Master
 MP3 Sample: Right click & save

 Notes: Duncan traveled from England to the States to attend Tool's 4-date mini-tour. His recording's of the March mini-tour have, as of Sept. 2002, been put onto CD yet again by the master taper. CatalystX remastered this recording as well & it is commonly available. The thing about it this time is that they are now in their native form; these are not EQ'd and they haven't sounded better. This is probably for the purist who wants to hear a classic gig. Really nice recording, all of Duncan's mini-tour recordings have been confused with DATs & MDs by various people. There is a DAT version of this show, though. For some reason, they seem to simply sound very good, which they are. Although a tiny amount of tape hiss is audible if you strain your ears it is minimal at worst. Crowd is not as loud as one would think as well, for a cassette. The sound itself has a rather dynamic range to it that does not fluctuate nor does it brickwall; very balanced. It's odd, many MD tapers can't even get a sound this good, presently. Also, Bob & Dave from HBO's 'Mr. Show' come out & try & cure Maynard as he has 'a-tit-alittus'. A warning to the audience members: do not suck his cock. The times below represent two common rips out there, provided as a reference, the 2nd time to represent the 2002 CatalystX remaster.

Maynardism: "How many of you suckers are coming back here tomorrow night? It will be a completely different show so you'll get to see a completely different thing & all you people that didn't buy tickets for tomorrow night, tomorrow night will be the better show. Sorry, I'm not going to wear anything tomorrow."
