"This is a song for a guy who believes that prostitutes should wear wedding rings,
because they get way more business. This is Long Time Running, O.K."

Transfer and Mastering Notes:
The source tape is from Sixer in the Netherlands. When the tape was
examined, some wrinkling and a splice were found(remember tape splices)?
Some warbling exists, and about 2 seconds of "Little Bones" is missing
due to the splice. The show was transferred to hard drive by recording
through a Sound Blaster Live sound card at 24 bit, 48 kHz. Cool Edit
Pro was used to restore clipped sections, reduce noise, and remove DC
offset. All processing in Cool Edit Pro was done at 32 bit resolution.
Noise shaping and triangular dithering were used to convert the wav files
to 16 bit, 44.1 kHz. This is a very good sounding audience recording.
The first track is a little rough due to the age of this first
generation cassette. (tomcat9)
Show Notes:
This is a very good audience recording of the never before
circulated complete show from the Paradiso. The band and Gordie are in rare
form for this one! I believe this to be the first time "At The Hundredth Meridian"
was played as a stand alone song. The chord changes are slightly different,
and the lyrics are not quite finalized. The "If I die of vanity......" line is
not even there yet. It is a classic moment in the development of the Hip.
"Trickle Down" and "I'll Believe In You", which are played to close the
show, are played with a fervor and passion I've not heard before. A must
have for any Hip fan. Enjoy, peace. Hipman332001
