Re: Megaupload

hey everyone,

i have to be honest - i had no idea Megaupload had been seized until just now!  I followed the whole SOPA/PIPA thing but was not aware about MegaUp.  Probably for the best anyway, as that site has pissed me off too many times!

Anyway, please be patient with me getting the remasters back up, since I've been very busy and not working on the blog much.  I have a premium Filesonic account so that's what I plan to go with.

Thanks for following,

KP

Oswego Airport, Volney NY: 7/17/99 (day 1)

Phish.net show page

Saturday, 07/17/1999
Oswego County Airport, Volney, NY

Set 1: Tube > Boogie On Reggae Woman, Birds of a Feather, Guelah Papyrus, My Sweet One, Roggae, Tweezer -> Have Mercy -> Taste > Character Zero

Set 2: Funky Bitch, On My Knees, Jam > Down with Disease, Wolfman's Brother -> Sneakin' Sally through the Alley> Timber (Jerry), You Enjoy Myself

Encore: The Squirming Coil, Tweezer Reprise

Notes: This was the first show of the Camp Oswego festival. Have Mercy was played for the first time since November 12, 1994 (334 shows). Son Seals sat in on guitar and vocals for his own composition, Funky Bitch, as well as the Phish debut of On My Knees. Afterwards, a brief blues jam was played as Son left the stage. Sneakin' Sally did not contain a vocal jam.

Two new AUD sources for Oswego have been released on etree in the past month, and one of them to me is the best sounding recording I've heard of the festival.  I think most casual listeners will write it off at first listen since it's super bass-heavy and muffled.  However, EVERYTHING else about it is perfect:  great stereo balance and open soundfield, natural dynamic range, practically nonexistent crowd chatter, and most of all no wind whatsoever (which I'm sure attendees will vouch for.  I heard it was insanely hot and muggy).  A perfect representation of that thick, open air festival sound.  This combination of overly bassy but otherwise perfect makes it an ideal ghetto-fab remaster candidate - extremely similar to my 9/17/00 job.  In this case I tried not to go totally insane jacking the high end, but it's a huge jump in clarity over the original.

Unfortunately the same taper and rig for the following day didn't produce nearly the same results so I will not be attempting that one.  Besides, the best parts have already been leaked as SBD.  An even newer km184 pull popped up just last week or so, and while it's much clearer off the bat, I feel it sounds a bit flat and lacks that festie oomph.

I should mention that both days have already been remastered by phishjam10 (check out his new blog here), but since the two sources are so drastically different I figure it's good to have options.  The one he did is a FOB Schoeps, the one I did is a Microtech Gefell from the tapers' section.  Sounds like a FOB though since there's no roof to create boominess and those festie rigs are so powerful and thick.

Enjoy!

p.s. I won't be uploading AAC versions from now on.  Since I decided to raise the bit rate to around 200 kbps after hearing some compression artifacts at the ~160 kbps level, the files are now too close in size to the v0 mp3's to make much difference at all.  I prefer the efficiency of AAC but realize mp3 is more universal, so...

Updated versions of Leaked SBD projects now up

please see the original post here.  Enjoy!

11/2/11 note:  My apologies for the following errors I realized after uploading all the files.  Will fix these for the next edition

-material from '98 Shoreline benefit (acoustic) should be labeled 10/17, not 10/18.

-the following are instances where multiple tracks are from the same show but I screwed up the tags and
  they will be out of order in media players that arrange by file name:
6/20/95: should go Spock's - Mike's
8/17/97: should go DWD - Gin - Hood
8/7/98: should go Ghost - Forbin
8/15/98: should go Reba - Gumbo
10/17/98: should go Velvet - Hood - Helpless
12/31/98: should go Ghost- Cities
12/31/99: should go Sand/QT - After Midnight rep.
7/18/99: should go Piper - Jim -Free

re: bad link for part 2 of Leaked SBD Project

thank you for your patience - i have the newly updated projects ready to go, i just need to finish tagging the files and upload them to my Megaupload account.  I hope to do this Monday night.  I will also put them onto Demonoid in torrent form, which could be especially helpful for the main comp which is now up to 2.6 GB.

New additions for the main compilation include tracks from Live Baits 5 and 6 as well as tracks from the House of Live Phish tent at SBix.

New additions to Tier 2 include just about all of the SBix From The Archives tracks (a couple were already available in similar SBD quality).  I decided to put the FTA stuff on tier 2 because they were web rips of widely varying quality, and one of the broadcasts was overblown in terms of the levels.

 Q.  (from request page)  January 27, 2011 9:26 AM 
"One more "Request" if you will, please...Would it be possible to Remaster the fantastic 9/29/00 specifically to omit the non-band-member(dealer)vocalist- (i.e. second set, encore)- leaving only stellar Phish and a drop-kick setlist? (just a dream I had)."

I combed thru 4 or 5 sources of this show and found a great recording one which seems to not be from etree.  It came with a text file so I'll be able to provide full credits to the transferer/seeder, but it seems to be something I picked up from a fellow phan's stash and did not originate from etree.  Anyway it sounds better to me than any of the other sources.  For a FOB, there is a remarkably low amount of nearby chatter.


*PLEASE NOTE*  the Carini file I have is corrupted for this source, so I patched it with an EQ-tweaked version of the Schoeps cmc6/mk21 source (etree shnid 1641).  That source is a bit muffled and the kick drum is a bit overbearing....it's not bad by any means but IMO the main source i used for the remained sounds much more dynamic and clean IMO.  

Enjoy!
