All Along The Watchtower setlist from http://www.boblinks.com/101202s.html A Bigfoot Disc: recorded and mastered to cdr by Sandy A. (aka Bigfoot) Source: 2x modified Neumann KM254 microphones -> mic power supply -> Zefiro Inbox -> Sony D8 -> MDAT Likely transfer lineage: DAT playback digital out -> Sek'd Prodif Plus -> Sound Forge -> CD Architect -> CD-R (my trade copy from Sandy in 2002) CD extraction, edits*, and FLAC conversion by easyjim: CD-Rs -> xACT v1.62 (CD Paranoia - extraction) -> joined .wav files (1 per disc) -> Digital Performer v5.1 (import, align & crossfade overlap between discs, split tracks) -> xACT 1.62 > .flac (level 8) * A few seconds overlap was present at the end of Disc I and the beginning of Disc II on the discs received from Sandy, and the introduction and Maggie's Farm were combined into a single track. This re-tracked version is now seamless, with the overlap re-aligned and crossfaded. No other edits were performed with a view to share this recording pretty much as it was received. [text below written by Easy Ed for each and all of the Bigfoot Memorial Series offerings] ~~~~~~ Bigfoot Memorial ~~~~~~ I am devastated that my friend, Sandy A. (aka Bigfoot, aka Sasquatch) passed away on Friday, June 5, 2009 at the age of 52. Even though he had been struggling with health issues for seven years, and even though when I spoke to him on June 3rd he was suffering and he said his wife was worn pretty thin, I truly believed he would get better. It never even occurred to me that he wouldn't get better. I and the other people who knew and loved him feel a great loss to no longer have him in our lives. Our friendship started with our shared passion for taping shows. I helped Sandy get his first computer and showed him how to do a clean, all digital transfer and master to cdr, and over the years he shared many of his recordings with me. We know Sandy is setting up a great taping rig in heaven to record the jams of the great musicians up there (unfortunately God's girlfriend is one of the singers) but I wish he was still here with all of us. Our friendship grew beyond just sharing music and taping. Sandy was a Buddha-like, god-like figure in my mind. He was one of the best people I have ever known, always so kind and generous to others. He was a shining example of how not to take on other people's shit and how to not be judgmental. I am questioning whether Karma does exist, because Sandy was as good a person as I can imagine and deserved many more years of joy with his loving wife and his many friends and the many bands he grooved to and became friends with. Many other people had many different (non-taping) connections with Sandy. He loved fishing. He loved gardening. He loved music and saw tons of shows, not only his old standbys like Neil Young, Jackson Browne and SCI, but new up and coming bands (many of whom he helped attain national recognition) like Yonder Mountain String Band, Hot Buttered Rum String Band and others. He loved his wife, who very much loved him too, and for whom I wish I could absorb some of the pain she must be feeling. But Sandy, despite his many interests, was about his connections with people. If you would have taken away taping, he would have missed it but been ok. If you took away music, he would have missed it but been ok. But I know that he would not have been ok if he didn't have his friends. I would like to celebrate one of the sides of Sandy that I shared, that is, taping of concerts, by offering up some of the many, many wonderful audience recordings that he made over the years. Sandy was always sharing his recordings with his friends (kinda like Harpo Marx, who'd put his leg in your hand if you stood next to him: if you got near Sandy, you'd end up with cds in your hand), so these are not uncirculated by any means, but they may be recordings that some of you have never had access to before. Sandy didn't have high speed internet and earlier this year I told him about torrent sites and asked him if it'd be ok to share his recordings online. He answered with a resounding, clear YES (with the understanding that certain artists, venues and shows were 'no-copies') People, don't wait til the wonderful among us have passed on to thank them and celebrate them. We are each but a brief, passing flame, flickering in the wind. Nurture and rejoice in the warmth and light while we have it. Tearfully yours, Easy Ed
