It was no contest.

All I had heard before the show was ATBL on the radio. And the interview they did on KISW while my friends and I were driving up I-5 to the Seattle Center, which was a laff riot, by the way.

I was not prepared for the atomic bomb blast presented to us onstage that night.

Black Sabbath was just a wet firecracker in comparison.

Hey Ace! Listened to your album. I've really enjoyed it!

The only thing it needs is a nice double-bass drum kit, and you're set. I like the guitar playing in the album!

Kid, I dunno if I should recommend you an otologist or a psychiatrist.

Maybe both.

Cheers! :bottle:

So I was going to burn this to disc. Began editing the tracks, realized that whoever encoded this has a crap sound card or a shitty computer or both. Every 10-20 seconds there is a dropout, and it is NOT from the original tape.

Am deleting this piece of shit and waiting to find a link to a FLAC version.

The mix itself is not bad, a little distant sounding, but nothing I can't turn into sonic gold. Just have to wait until I can get a lossless version so I don't have to spend two days editing out all the dropouts.

No dropouts in MP3 encoding here, for me.

I prefer MP3 because it's more convenient and also because I like the sound I get.

Tell you what. If you have a broadband connection, just upload the wave files to megaupload or something.

I discovered what the problem was. It was not your machine. Somehow when encoding to mp3, there was some kinda format fuckup. When I tried to convert from mp3 to wave using Sound Forge, it would not even open the mp3s. So I used an old version of Sonic Foundry Batch Converter, and that is what caused all the dropouts.

So what I did was use Reaper to convert, there were no dropouts, and I just burned the VH set to disc.

DAVE IS THE MOTHERFUCKING MAN!!!!

I just got done listening to it.

If you don't want to upload the waves, it is no big thing, but I would much rather have lossless if possible. Use FLAC if you can. That will compress the files for transfer without losing any quality.

Thanks for your efforts. I saw them exactly a week after this show, and what I heard tonight is what I remember from 32 years ago.
