Here’s one that was in the drafts that should be fun. This is on youtube, but not even close to this quality. No lineage was marked on the tape but it is pretty close to master.

It seems that the Metallica completists have found the sacramento music archive. I received 2 messages asking for this show, along with 2 other tapes that appear to be uncirculated. Those other 2 will take a while (I have A LOT of people I neglected and need to get back to), but here is the new year’s show.
The origin of this tape is kind of a mystery. I vaguely remember Mark Martin telling me that he taped this, but the writing on this tape is not his, and it came from his collection that I acquired in the 80s. It kinds looks like “tour manager Doug”‘s writing, and the sound of the tape sounds like one of his as well. So, this is probably 1st gen, might be a master.. who knows.

Equipment used: Nakamichi Dragon and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card
EQ in Sony Soundforge 10: Boost bass (see pic in comments below for the wacky settings so I could hear Cliff), slight drop to mids, steep drop of highs.
Here’s another show that Mark Martin taped. I was at the show, but I missed Megadeth’s set. We got there right after they finished and went backstage with them. They were in a TINY backstage room- maybe 8×8 feet. Anthony Schwartz, do you remember how small that room was? This show sounds pretty good for non-professional equipment, but there are some cuts early on as on the tape.

It looks like the only things that were missed on http://www.sacramentomusicarchive.com were 3 shows from 12/31/85- the exodus show from yesterday, this one and megadeth from the same date. I guess I will need to post the Metallica one day.

I am finding more stuff from my youtube channel that is not on the SMA website. D’oh. I guess I will need to do a complete scrub of posts from June of 2016. Does anyone want to volunteer to compare my youtube channel to the website? Exciting work!
