Remastered by Mr. Sifter, Sept. 2024

Soundboard from the short-lived Derek/Dickey combo. Narrowed the extreme stereo imaging for better/more natural headphone listening, tightened up the bass frequencies. Not quite up to official release standards but a nice compliment to the somewhat underwhelming Peakin’ At The Beacon album.

Source: analog SBD recording > ? > CD-R > EAC > FLAC

Remastered and speed corrected by Mr. Sifter, July 2024. Some songs have incomplete intros/outros, and “Southbound” has a cut in the middle. Not anyone’s favorite era but an overlooked era, with full 5 songs off ‘Brothers Of The Road,’ an album they’d never return to again after the tour ended a couple months later.

Remaster notes:

As the original description says, this was an almost mono, very flat sounding SBD. Split into stems via DeMix Pro I was able to achieve a decent stereo image and bring out Woody’s bass, which seemed almost nonexistent in the original tape. The bass extraction is sometimes inconsistent, but it’s better than it was before at least. Unfortunately the keys were a bit buried and there wasn’t much that could be done about that, but Dickey, Warren, and Gregg’s vocals are nice and clear now. Added a slight bit of verb to make it feel more in line with a proper live album, and fades between “Black Hearted Woman” and “Seven Turns” to make that transition slightly less jarring due to the cuts in the source tape.

I received this in a  trade from “jerry” way back in the mid 90s on DAT.  According to the notes on the tape it is listed “DSB” for digital soundboard; it sounds like that to me, no real cassette hiss or analog “saturation”. ABB soundboards are really just monitor boards, they are stereo but with a narrow field and they sound rather “flat” in comparison to other artists soundboards i.e. Grateful Dead.  I saw the ABB in Louisville 1992 2nd row and never could find a tape, so this is the closest date I could find and a soundboard.  There are some egregious cuts , “black hearted woman” is cut on the end which BLOWS since they have a nice triplet “other one” type jam at the end of that tune; why there is a cut there? Did someone flip a cassette down the line?  Yes, there is a small drop out in “blue sky” that I seamed and the beginning of “seven turns” is cut , there could be a acoustic tune missing in front, they didn’t open with “seven turns” very much or at all according to set lists?  However, it’s a good listen and clean otherwise; it’s difficult to hear a bad performance by this line up … EVER.  It’s my favorite line up besides the original line up .  1992 was the BEST year for the line up as well … find a copy of the commercial 1992 LIVE releases, or even better , buy them or download them to support ABB family , all of them are good: Live set 1 and 2, and latter released “play all night: March 10/11, 1992 Beacon Theatre … this source has been previously circulated but this is a “new transfer” … 

Allman Brothers Band – CNE Grandstand, Toronto 8/24/1990

 

Remastered by Mr. Sifter, Dec. 2023.
As the ABB estate continues to virtually ignore the 90’s in their archival activities, figured it was worth spending some time on this one, from the short-lived initial reunion lineup that included Johnny Neel very prominently on piano. A full six songs from Seven Turns plus Dickeys “The Blues Ain’t Nothin” which was only played in ’89-90. 
The lineage of the source I had to work off was unknown, but it definitely sounds like at least a 2nd gen copy. The first cassette side (i.e. first 46 minutes) has notably clearer quality than the rest of the show, not counting the audience patch at the end of “Whipping Post” (thank you to whoever did this!), however the whole thing is still much more listenable now. It’s not going to win any awards, and unfortunately the generations from the master and tools required to make it clearer and more comparable to a proper release equated to less dynamic range than I would like.
