Cozy up with two exceptional back-to-back shows, shows with precision and clarity, shows with more than a lion’s share of exploratory jams, and most importantly, shows that were simply a damn good time for all. Highlights from night one include the bookends of a spectacular “Help>Slip!>Franklin’s” and an epically intricate “Morning Dew” followed by a classic cover of “The Weight.” Night two, is the sleeper hit, with flawless playing from start to finish, the set list inviting you to find new favorites in top-notch renditions of “Foolish Heart” or “Victim Or The Crime,” and if that’s not one of the finest versions of “Desolation Row” Bobby ever did do! We would be remiss if we didn’t mention that these shows were among Brent’s last and they are some of his finest of the era at that.

CD Rip via dBpoweramp > [16-44]
Sorry for not thanking you for sharing this here, I should have said that before my rant about Lemieux
what mook David Lemieux is, putting the shows out on 2 cds each and putting the cd break between the jam in Foolish Heart and Playing In The Band and then not including the US Blues encore for the 7/19/90 show. Betty Cantor Jackson was spot on with her thoughts about him
lemieux, uggggh……don’t get me started. bonehead extraudinaire. Start with how many of his releases have needed speed correction and go from there.
Thank you very much. Will this be coming in proper 24bit??
Unless it comes across from someone who treats it properly, DP’s are only CD [16-44].
Box Sets come w/ a 24bit option. A shame DP’s aren’t available for Digital D/L as well.
I would think they would benefit from that $$.
* I read where folks thought the CD’s of Listen To The River sound better than digital D/L’s of it… I would not know and YMMV
I didn’t realize these were CD only. People like options Dave. HDCD being 20bit will translate well to 24bit via dbPoweramp or am I showing my lack of CD knowledge. I skipped the CD generation completely back in the day.
I’m only curious about this one cause, A. I was at these shows, B. In the CD tray there is a picture of a cassette labeled “master” & at first listen these have a DSD cassette quality to it. Perhaps my mind was just playing tricks on me. I’ve since compared it to the circulating DAT master (48k) & they are comparable.
At any rate, I’m grateful for the share & welcome any feedback.
Ah Ha moment…
Not sure why but I was under the presumption that these were HDCD.
They’re not & that explains that.
Utter non-wizard level listener here, but I see on the scans of cd packaging and each of the 4 discs the all have the HDCD label. Are they not actually hi def? If they truly are hi def discs, couldn’t they be ripped in ALAC as hi def 24 bit files?
Just a grateful downloader over here, I’m too cheap to actually buy the subscription so I don’t have the discs to do this potential ripping.
Right you are Mister Stargazer. These are in fact HDCD as are all the Dave’s Pick selections. I think our intrepid uploader is on this.
Thank you! Love both of these shows, looking forward to hearing this presentation of them.
Bufford IS the best!!! EVA
Thanks very much! 🙂
Awesome! Thanks BTJ
Why thank you
The cut in Foolish > Playin’ transition due to CD’s is a little painful.
( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)
Bufford you are the best! Thank you!
