springfield civic had GREAT acoustics. Ive written about this before. There are GOOD aud tapes from there going back to '73. In the spring of 85, the last time the GD played there Healy was speaking at a local college and commented how GREAT that place was. In spring 85 when the taping section was 1st incorporated on the east coast after the BCT shows in Oct 84 the tapes from behind the board are still awesome because of the GREAT acoustics

I commented earlier on this Steve Rolfe recording. And that upload has been edited by Professor Miller. The bass is a little thin (for those of you expecting SBDs from '85), but this open-air recording is STILL better than the SBD available for this show. PLUS, if you love Shakedown, well . . . at about 7:00, you should buckle your seat belts . . . my goodness. Bobby is saying, "Hell-wooooow! Hlllll-whaaaaah!!" Lots of other good things going on here, too. Download. Now. Amen.

Subject: AUD may be better than SBD

I think this AUD may actually sound better than the miller SBD!!

Subject: The famous Steve Rolfe tape!

I've had a 2nd gen of this for ages. An infamous show and a fabulous recording by one of the masters. Great job as usual by Charlie. Thanks for posting it!

Subject: Great Sounding Audience Tape

A little light on the bass, but a quick twist of the sub-woofer knob restored it. Thanks Charlie.
