Welcome to Volume 68 of our master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock.
Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters.
Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check.
Volume 68 features a ripping Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble set at Pier 84 supporting his 1985 'Soul To Soul' release and comes a year into the tour. A great set featuring guest appearances by Jimmie Vaughan on "Pipeline", Steve Winwood on "Love Struck Baby" and Johnny Copeland on "Wham!" and a "Slow Blues Improvisation".
It looks like TapeTyrant's capture has been shared in the past from an unknown generation CDR trade, this is a HUGE upgrade to that version and first time directly from the master tapes.
Also, on the previous share the "Slow Blues Improv" cuts off with about a minute left, this appears to be the first time this circulates complete. There is a version of this capture on Guitars101 that lists "Gimme Some Lovin'" which I downloaded and it also cuts off on the "Slow Blues Improv" and does not include "Gimme Some Lovin'". If that was played it is not here and I question if it was played at all, it is not like TapeTyrant to shut down prior to the show ending especially at a venue like Pier 84 which he was very comfortable taping in. After "Slow Blues..." Stevie Ray speaks to the audience, acknowledging each band member and the Fabulous Thunderbirds as well as how much they have enjoyed playing for the New York audience, it certainly sounds like a finality to the show.
There is also a 2CD on Massive Attack Discs called 'Gone Fishin' that contains this show but I do not know the source, likely this capture as well.
This capture is another outstanding quality TapeTyrant master!
Thanks as always to Goody for the continued excellence in pitch guidance.
Continued thanks to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these historic shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come. We are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).
Artwork, samples, newspaper adverts and a review of the show are included.
