Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes: This one took some guts to put up. A good dose of 1985 bass farts
and the typical Pacific Ocean wind rumble that Ventura is famous for. I
applied a small amount of HPF to help reduce the wind rumble and spent a
good amount of time playing with the azimuth to minimize the high end
wind push. The mics were split simply because the board was high
and directly in front of me. I hope it's enjoyable!

*   must have had the limiter on or Dolby on, then switched off, as these tracks sound "different"     than the rest of the recording.
    This tape GRAPHICALLY recorded the sound system problems that plagued the sound crew the entire summer and fall of 1985.  IT seemed to have something to do with the low end.  The tapers later circulated a story that it was Phil's new Bass pickups that were cross wired and caused his rig to freak out the PA's subwoofers. This distortion is all during this show, it occurs at least 20 times.

Taper Notes:

View NotesJune 2015 Recollection:

It was a hot sunny weekend in Ventura, and the sea breeze was kicking up the sand in the rodeo arena.  We had to keep the tape decks covered with a towel to protect them from the dust, and for at least one of the shows (I think it was the 14th) we put socks over the foam windscreens to try and minimize the wind noise on the mics.

The Saturday show started in the hot afternoon sun, and there were fires burning on the mountains east of the faigrounds, so it was fitting to open up the first show with One More Saturday Night and Fire On The Mountain.  It was also kind of cosmic when they sang "ashes ashes all fall down" during the end of Throwing Stones (again on the 14th) as there were ashes falling down out of the sky all weekend from the fires.  As usual, Ventura delivered with some of the greatest camping scenes ever, with bands playing, old school movies to watch on the "big screen", thriving hippy bazaar, and lots of food, drink, smoke, music and other goodies to share with everybody.

The recordings came out great, save for a bit of wind noise.  It was terribly good fun making these recordings, and I hope that you enjoy this show in 24/96 resolution.

View Notescomments:
Enjoy this really nice "In Your Face" FOB. This seed is dedicated to the memory of Jim Vita who so often allowed me to patch out of him when he was in the sweet spot. 

The pictures of Jerry and Phil attached to the torrent were taken by my niece Edris (who was my tour buddy for the entire summer of 1985) She met Bear at this show and he got her back stage.

flaws:
The static present most notably in the second set is from Phil's bass and was common during this entire summer tour.
