version "e", Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, From an old DAT (two, actually, long show -- received in trade -- info: "A master > DAT > DAT"). I have no other Houstons to compare this to, but one clear "marker" for this tape is the guy who says "I'm not the one you need" just before Bob sings it the first time in It Ain't Me, Babe. This is possibly derived from the same source as LB-4138 (includes the Petty songs, anyway) -- there are moments when the audience is having a lot of (audible) fun, but it still sounds better than a B- to me. (I seldom undersand LB sound ratings, though, so don't go by me, maybe.) Could it be from the same source as LB-9913 but with the Petty songs? (It's certainly no SBD, though.) There is a drop/cut on my DAT between The Waiting and Breakdown (same as LB-4138), but the next drop/cut occurs between When The Night Comes Falling and Lonesome Town, NOT between Lonesome Town and Thin Man (so... different). There's also a drop/cut after In The Garden on this DAT. LB says somewhat cryptically of LB-4138 that it "has digi-pops starting t285:30 occasionally for rest of show." I don't know what location on the tape "t285:30" is supposed to reference, but I did not notice any glaring digipops on this one (I did notice some digital noise at the beginning of LARS, and I'm sure there must be more elsewhere -- DATs sucked!). LB also says of LB-4138 "abrupt start on d1t1" ... that is not true of this tape. My DAT change occurs after Seeing The Real You, so that has a somewhat abrupt end, but I think the last note just about finishes., WHAT I DID: Tascam DA-20 > Realtek sound card (digital transfer) > Audacity 2.0.6 (WAV capture) > Sound Forge XP 4.0 (broke into tracks, fade in 1, fade out 32, tape gaps and some adjacent audience lulls removed) > dBpoweramp Music Converter (WAV > FLAC) > Windows Explorer (file tagging), WHAT I DID NOT DO: resample the files (they remain @ 48 khz, just as on my original DAT, so you will have to convert them yourself in order to burn to CD), All thanks to the original taper and to the guy who sent me the DAT (who may or may not be the same person)!
01/17 a subsequent torrent has flac tag for t20 changed so that it has a different md5
