Rick Danko<br />
Cubby Bear<br />
Chicago, Illinois<br />
December 9, 1989<br />
<br />
Lineage: Soundboard => Sony D-5 => Master analog => cassette => CDR => EAC => Magix Audio Cleaning Lab * => WAV => FLAC frontend (level 8)<br />
<br />
* Audio Cleaning Lab was used to split tracks, apply light de-hissing, raise the levels of track 12-20 by 1.8 db to normalize the recording, and raise the 13 khz band slightly. Furthermore, the pitch was adjusted slightly (slower) on cassette playback.<br />

Notes: Nice soundboard of Rick Danko with an additional guest musician (can anyone help with this?) from a small club in Chicago. I've always liked this show a lot; the setlist is great and Danko gives the most soulful "Long Black Veil" I've heard. The mix is pretty raw, but the overall sound is very nice. <br />
<br />
The taper managed to convince Danko into allowing him to tape with the help of some "herbs". . . this may explain Rick's odd mood throughout the show as well as the very abrupt end -- he literally leaves the stage in the end of a verse and the puzzled crowd stood around for awhile wondering if he was finished. <br />
<br />
For some reason, the levels were lower on side B of the master tape, which caused the hiss to be greater on tracks 12-20 upon normalization. <br />
<br />
A very mellow show, but really enjoyable. I got this while I was in college, and used to listen to it while studying a lot.<br />
