Is this an uncirculated show???

[Esau]

Hey all,

In may of 2003 Feat played my hometown for the first time ever, Hamilton,Ontario,I knew there was a couple tapers present,one being my business partner and another one (possibly two) tapers present.

My buddys recording is completely messed and not really that good for sharing,but I was able to aquire a A quality recording but sadly, the first disc fades out near the end of Skin it Back and disc two begins abruptly during Day at the Dog Races (maybe 1 or 2 minutes in),aside from those two issues and one issue that was obviously at the SBD during Hate to Lose Your Loving (static more less for 30 seconds,but the music & vocals still very present) the recording is amazing in my opinion,as was the show.

Now my question(s) is/are:

1.Is there another copy out there of this show? If so I would love to aquire it to compare with this one.

2.If there isn't another copy circulating would it be bad etiquette to share a show that is obviously flawed,although minorly,but still not 100% complete? (98% maybe...LOL)

I have it almost all tracked and cleaned up to prepare for torrenting, but before I did,I wanted to find out 100% that this show is not available somewhere already (complete too) and also ask some folks their thoughts on sharing it.I do seed alot of shows but this one has me very excited as it was very difficult to locate,even harder to aquire.Plus,it was Little Feats first ever time to Hamilton.

Any and all input is greatly appreciated.


ps.Just saw em on monday night in Toronto and it was great.


Thanks kindly friends.

Greg,

Good questions, thanks for asking. I'm not an authority on seeding partial shows, at least not as to how they are viewed by the collecting community. However, if you clearly identify the faults and explain it as you have, I see no reason anyone would blame you for that. The show is what it is till some better/commplete source surfaces. The choice is then theirs to pull it or not.

I would also effort to get as much information as you can about the source of the copy you have, so in the event something else does come up folks can then diferentiate betwixt the two. I try to at least get the brand and type (pickup pattern) of microphones used if it's an audience recording. Then if possible: the location in the hall, mic pattern, and the devices in the signal chain (phantom power/pre amps/A-D converters) then the type of recording device. If you only get two things, Id get the brand of mic and the recorder. You'll see Mini Discs, laptops, small hard disc recorders and DAT decks.

Hope this helps... as always, I could be wrong

I'm still working on finding out the source and attempting to get a copy of the actual recording (on whatever format it was recorded on),it really is a great sounding show despite the couple flaws and it is a SBD,I recall seeing a small board of the main specifically for tapers to patch into but that was during the afternoon when we were setting up the stage etc and I never got back to the board again the rest of the night.

Anyway,
Once I have it ready for sharing I'll be sure to post here.

Thanks for your reply & input.

Cheers

If it's a SBD then you'll likely only learn if it was recorded to DAT, laptop or Mini Disc. The specifics after that are probably less meaningfull due to the aparent dearth of other sources. Transfer lineage to CD would only indicate wheather it was kept in the digital domain or analog, which could affect the end quality of what gets onto CD. Details, details, details... In the end it's all about the listening anyway.

Yeah, my ears are analog anyways.
