Two recordings showed up recently on Dimeadozen. They generated a lot of discussion and some suggestions for a reconstruction project. The recordings were supposedly the early and late performances of Santana (the band) and John McLaughlin in Berkeley, CA, on September 5, 1973, but some of the files from the early show were later discovered to be from the Chicago show of a few nights earlier.

I couldn’t resist the challenge, though in hindsight I underestimated its size. The results aren’t perfect, but they are as good as I can make them given my time and budget constraints. The performance is fantastic, and certainly worth the effort.

The recordings presented more than a few obstacles. All of them had problems with EQ, tape hiss, FM noise and compression, cuts due to recording tape running out while the broadcast continued, and random adjustments to levels on one or both channels. The tracks from the “late show” recording were numbered in the wrong order.

In the original recording, at about 30 minutes into track three, “A Love Supreme,” the recording cuts off, then resumes with some tape swishing. This is probably the result of changing a tape and resuming recording while the performance continued. I cut out the damaged part of the recording and cross-faded the two parts to make a seamless edit, but some difference in audio quality between the two tapes can still be heard. The quality of the recording on this tape improves gradually, but track four, “I’m Aware of You” ends prematurely. I faded out just before the abrupt cut on the original tape. The recording of “Flame-Sky” cuts off abruptly, so it was also faded out.

Level changes occur randomly throughout the original recording, as if someone decided to adjust the levels on one or both channels of the tape recorder from time to time. These and other “false crescendos” created by FM dynamics processing were ironed out in the mastering process, though some may remain.

After listening to the Berkeley recordings, I believe that one person recorded all of the tracks from an FM broadcast. All of the tracks have the same FM hiss and dynamic compression, which draws up solo sections of performances to the volume of the full band and causes some “pumping” on percussion sounds. Since it is not too likely that both performances were broadcast on one night, there’s a good chance that all of these recordings are of the same show. All of the tracks in this reconstruction required pitch correction of -65 cents, another bit of evidence that the recording originated from the same person and broadcast.

My thanks to everyone who seeded the two recordings, and to everyone who contributed to figuring out exactly what we had there.

Listening back to the completed reconstruction, I find this to be an engrossing, ear-pleasing reconstruction of most of the fantastic Berkeley performance of this incredible band. Hopefully you’ll agree!

This was shared on the torrents a long time ago by Davmar77. It was before I kept FLAC files, due to a tiny hard drive. Since then, and over the years, I have seen this show surface in unknown lineage which doesn't sound as good, or worse, this version turned into very lossy MP3. Either one is, imho, a downgrade. I waited for someone to re-post the FLAC files, but after not seeing them for a very long time, I decided to just re-FLAC my own. Better 1 CDR generation than several. I will be glad to replace, and delete this, if Davmar's FLACs are re-posted.

Notes
Paul Butterfield Might Have Played On One Or Two Other Songs With Different Bands . 
Last Song Jingo Olatunji & His Drums Of Passion Where Still Playing While They Walked Off Stage To The Backstage Area. I Stop Recording During This Since They Had No Mics And You Could Not Hear Them Very Good Plus The Lights Where On And People Where Leaving .

Got to show just in time and i was in such a rush i forgot batteries all i had was a old set but i did have a extra ticket so i left the show and ran to the store to get batteries and used my extra ticket to get back in . I left the deck and mics with my buddy ronnie (rest in peace ) and he ran it untill the old batteries died . they died during olatunji set but i was back by then to change them right away
