6.15.00 Down With Disease (only) remaster - mp3 - 48 MB
(UPDATE - the entire show has been remastered here)
Since I haven't had the time to remaster a whole show lately, I thought I'd feature a single jam today. An amazing, all-encompassing, 28-minute DWD from the 6/15/00 show at "Big Cat" in Osaka, Japan. If you haven't heard this yet, do it now. If you have, give it another spin. Although I think the Fukuoka show bests this one narrowly as a whole, this is my single favorite jam of the entire Japan tour. Click here and scroll down to read Mr. Miner's take on this masterpiece of improvisation.
Also of note is that I have chosen to remaster a source that is not a straight AUD. This is reportedly a SBD/AUD matrix according to the Etree database source info, although some have contested that it is just a great-sounding AUD. I personally think it's a matrix because of how up-front in the mix the instruments sound and how precise the stereo panning is at times. Also, some straight SBDs at small clubs can sound like matrices because the mics onstage pick up the folks in the front of the crowd more audibly than in larger arenas/sheds...so I think some people may lean more towards thinking it's a straight AUD because of how clear and nearby the crowd chatter/clapping sounds. Anyhoo.
You may be wondering why even bother remastering a matrix. Simply, as I was listening to it I just felt the dynamic range was a little flat, especially for a matrix. Also, the levels could have been higher. After an A/B comparison I prefer my remaster easily, but your mileage may vary. I only posted a v0 mp3 version because I just wanted to get this up quickly while I had a chance...but I'd be happy to up the FLAC and AAC later if there's interest.
Enjoy!

Agreed Kenny, your remaster is definitely preferred...Thank You Thank You Thank You! Keep up the great work and don't go on too long of a hiatus!
PS The GHOST from this show is pretty sweet too!!
1) Steve - best comment ever
2) jamfreek - look on today's post by Mr. Miner on PhishThoughtsd- my Ghost remaster can be DL'd there.
Thanks KP I got it, just a quick question...these Japan shows sound pretty good, but your work really shines on these two remasters, I know it's quite a bit of work and you probably have a ton of requests, but why not just go ahead and remaster both 6/15 and 6/16?
i probably will remaster and post all of 6/15/00, since i've already figured out the EQ settings and such.
i was hesitant because i really want this to be an AUD-themed blog...and most MTX and SBD recordings aready sound great. but since the DWD and Ghost are now out there...why not.
You mentioned 6/16 but I haven't done anything from that show...or were you just requesting it because you dig that show?
The only reason I mentioned 6/16 was because I thought there was a source that was essentially the same and could use an upgrade by a remaster, the show itself is not anything super special. It doesn't have anything like the Disease or Ghost from the night before, but it's a solid small venue show with good performances throughout. I am sure there are better requests out there, so put this one at the end of that list :)
ah, gotcha - i didn't know there was matrix for 6/16 but sure enough the db.etree page has it listed.
i only have one source i think, just a straight AUD which is ok i think...i'll look into it.
perhaps i will one day do all of Japan in one monster post, since it's only a handful of shows.
awesome remaster, thanks!
...hate to sound ungrateful, but I was just curious... if you've already figured out EQ settings for this show (as per your Ghost & DWD remasters), is there any chance you'd be willing to apply these settings to the whole show?
Love this Japan run, enjoy this show a ton, and your versions are clearly the preferred choice for me. Would love to get my hands on the full show, courtesy of your magic.
Thanks again for all you do.
yup, gonna do the whole show soon. just a bit preoccupied w/ tour and other things for the next few weeks.
