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]

Sounds great Mashiko! What an improvement in the overall sound, especially the bottom.

I hope when you are finished with the entire show you will be able to post a download link. Can't wait! Thanks for your effort.

Has Masahiko Yamaura's remastered version hit the streets, or hit the download links yet?

[Edited on 2/24/2017 by Wayne]

First trial has finished but I found serious problem with it, input volume seems to be changed by recorder a few times after Whipping Post started, so I trashed it and started again.
I can only work out on weekend because my office work is very very busy but I think I can release my remaster within a couples of week or so.
Please wait for some more time.

Thanks for your work at remastering concerts.

This 5 song show is completely original tunes. So, is this the only recorded Allman Brothers concert with no blues covers ever?

Please excuse my very delayed "Thank You!". The past few weeks have been crazy for me. I did receive them and put them up with the rest of my memorabilia. I hope everyone is still enjoying the show, and I like forward to hearing Masahiko's remaster! I've been trying to get back in touch with source (George Geranios) to see about possibility of acquiring reel-to-reel tapes!

Whoa you mean the LOST STONYBROOK REELS? Amazing. Good luck with that. We may have to start a little foundation to get that off the runway. Count me in! I want to hear stonybrook Mountain , Doors, Hendrix, Joplin, Airplane and so on.

Ah, that would be amazing. Not sure what all he has on-hand but I know for a fact that these 7-9-70 Stony Brook .WAVs are from his personal set of 1/4" mono tapes, which are likely the originals or a copy of originals.

Masahiko if the rest of the show sounds as good as what you did for Dreams then we are in for a treat. A great sounding show from the original 6. Thank you so much for all your efforts and sharing with us all. I cannot wait to hear this show after you've done your magic.

eap,
Steve

Following is the sample of final remaster - Dreams.mp3

My soundcloud account room is full, so it's a dropbox link.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1miiqrlwknoryxk/01%20Dreams.mp3?dl=0

Please compare with my last sample, I hope this is a bit better.

FYI, following is my last test remaster of Dreams.

Dreams sounds great. I'm curious how it went down the line, ala Whipping Post. Thanks for your work and time with this. I don't know if people really understand how much time, cursing, saying forget it, it can't be done goes into making these re-masters. I remember talking to Skip about what went into making these re -masters. It's a lot of work. Thanks Masa for carrying on the tradition.

If anyone could post Track 3-the end via Dropbox or some other service that would be awesome. Great job remastering the show. Sounds so much better.

Sounds great Masahiko! Both Dreams and Midnight Rider sounds so much richer and fuller than before, Berry sounds great your mix. Commercial quality if I say so myself! Looking forward to being able to download WP/MJ!
