Taper: Doug (former Megadeth tour manager). Transfer: Shayne S. Lineage: Panasonic consumer recorder > master audio tape > Nakamichi Dragon DR8 and M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card EQ in Sony Sound Forge 10 > wav > youtube > wav > Adobe Audition (mastering) > Goldwave > TLH FLAC. Shayne's comments: "I think that Doug taped this, so I will update if we have more detail later on. I am assuming that the "Original Lineup" statement on the cassette means the early 1984 lineup w/Kerry... so that's what I am running with. Regardless, it's cool to hear a soundcheck from so early on." Since it's an original line-up, it is surely prior to late April. The sound on this one is great, the vocals a kind of buried behind the sound but that's ok. A touch of static is there as well, looks like Shayne went a little too high while transferring. As I said before the show originally was shared on youtube, I ripped audio. So if you a lossless perfectionist this maybe regarded as lossy. I just don't care. Enormous gratitude to Shayne for sharing this and other gems at his channel.
