7/9/70 ABB Stony Brook

anthonyspare · 2017-01-24T21:06:03Z

Just listened to it for the first time, trying to upload now. So.... First there is thisCliff notes for the lazy: Moyssi was a lighting director for Stony Brook during this time. He was friends with George Geranios and Seth Dworken who ran sound. Moyssi goes to say near the bottom of the page... "My favorite fact is that we paid the Allman Brothers all of $300 for their first gig in our gym. It was a Thursday night with just ABB in 1970, followed by them opening for two shows with Mountain on Friday or Saturday. ABB did Stormy Monday, which Mountain also did as the headliner. After the early show, Leslie West wisely asked if he could open for ABB on the late show. What a friggin' wonderful show that turned out to be. They introduced Mountain Jam that night. (But I've done about 2,000 shows and mix up dates and bills and everybody's name, so take it for what it's worth.) Many, most, maybe all of those shows were recorded with permission on an Ampex 300 or 301 from the sound mixer. Seth Dworkin was the mixer--a brainiac who went on to win a Grammy with the Grateful Dead and direct satellite operations for Wall Street Journal--kept all the original recordings (made on Scotch professional 1/4" tape supplied by me). He died of Crohn's disease summer a year ago, just after we got reacquainted and he verified that he still had all the tapes. The Problem is that I can't figure out how to get in touch with the family and those tapes would need careful attention. I had a primary dub of the 1970 ABB/Mountain gig and ABB's archivist, Kirk West, told me it was the best FOH mixer recording he'd ever heard of the band. That was after they released the famous 1971 performance at Stony Brook that was recorded just weeks before the tragic motorcycle fatalities." So, long story short, I "ran into" George via the ABB Stony Brook YouTube comment section a few months ago. Today I got the CD in the mail. It is Seth Dworken's recording of the 7/9/70 Stony Brook Summer Orientation Pre-Concert. Did anyone know this existed? Special thanks to George for this. --------------------- 07-09-70 ------ Dreams Midnight Rider Elizabeth Reed Whipping Post -> Mountain Jam [Edited on 2/14/2017 by anthonyspare]

Anthony ... does the kind person who sent you these files have the original WAV version? ... if so, I wonder if he would send you those or at least a FLAC compression rather than MP3 because FLAC will convert back to WAV with no loss of audio?

All the best,
Colin.

Just spoke with George. He is going to send me .wav on discs, should arrive next week. Something for everyone to look forward to. Talk to y'all soon.

Excellent news Anthony ... have a great weekend !

Thanks George and Anthony for finding and sharing this show. Thanks ABBDutchFan for the link to download to listen to the show. The show sounds great, please post when you get the .WAV format.

I burned the MP3 files to disc and listened on my stereo; this sounds great for a 1970 show, even in MP3.

If anyone can't download, I'll be glad to do a B+P for you. Send me a PM.

Wayne hit the nail on the head; I thought of Capt. Skipper as I listened to the show last night, too.

One of the more interesting Liz Reed's from the original six. Love the interplay near end of Duane's solo. Dreams also has an ending I had not heard before.

That would be awesome. Please get a FLAC or WAV file to MasahikoYamaura so he can remaster this great find.
He already did magic with recordings in the past!

I finally had a chance to listen to the whole thing.

Thank you for sharing here. And thank you for your efforts in getting it in the first place. And please thank the person who you got it from. I hope they know how happy this has made so so many people!

This whole thread brightens my day -- spreading the religion Duane spoke of the night before he died (in Red Dog's recollections) -- not since the 1997 uncovering of 9/16/71 Warehouse such an exciting find
in P,L & no tech, it doesn't play when I click & makes no diff anyway as the living room stereo is where I listen to music -- hopefully it makes its way to the trades section Smile
Again P&L -- this show arriving w/the brother's departure......RIP, bro Butch

Thanks to everyone involved in finding these tapes and making them available. I'm really enjoying the show this week.

If someone wants to burn CDs for Kirk, he'd appreciate it. Just spoke to him.

Topic starter

Hey everybody,
This week has been a hiatus for me since I have started a new job. On a brighter note, "you know what" came in the mail today from George. Here is what I want to do...
Due to the size of the file I am having a lot of trouble uploading the show to the web so Im feeling generous and have decided to send out several copies to get this out as quick as possible instead of the traditional vine we had decided on with the mp3 version. I hope to get them all out in the mail by Friday and Saturday.

So far I will have a copy going to the following people. 3 spots left.

1. Wayne Knight
2. thetoweringfool
3. JayinPa (I NEED ADDRESS!)
4. fanfrom-71 (I NEED ADDRESS!)
5. Marco (I NEED ADDRESS!)
6. Colin
7. Bob (I NEED ADDRESS!)
8. Stephen (I NEED ADDRESS!)
9. BobMeader (I NEED ADDRESS!)
10.
11.
12.

I would also like to send a copy to Masahiko (I sent him a PM but havent heard back yet), Alan, and Kirk if I can get their contact info.

Thanks.
-A
