Recordings

[Simon]

Well Simon in bootleg circles a "soundboard" recording is a recording that came from the soundboard, whether it came directly from the soundboard in the manner you describe or whether a broadcaster got a soundboard feed. So typically a recording is soundboard (SBD) or audience (AUD).

In  bootleg circles there are actually three types of boot:

Soundboard (SBD)
Audience (AUD
Broadcast (FM)

Which takes me back to my original argument re unscrupulous engineers

We just need to let sleeping dogs lie.   That's a way to say  "we need to let this go"   No one here is going to post an answer to how IEMs are made.   The topic is uncomfortable for most of the members.   It's useless knowledge anyway, for it's been said several times by Dan and others:  it's illegal.

Back when I used to trade DS/MK recordings, I met up with someone that knew a bit more about this recording. He claimed that a soundboard feed from the soundboard was fed into the medical offices at the Blossom Music Center which were apparently off site from the main stage. It was more or less an "in house PA". So someone from the medical offices put a cassette recorder into that feed. This makes sense as there are several other soundboard recordings from the mid 80s into the early 90s from Blossom Music Center and they all have the same type of sound quality. Eric Clapton 6/22/85 and Sting 9/10/85 are good examples. The guy also gave me his (3rd?) gen copy on original Maxell Type II tapes from the 80s of the show so that seemed to corroborate his story a bit.

Very interesting story Dan

We may assume that somebody own a master tape with the full show uncut on it.
