hm, all right. There's a nice room reverb anyhow, and there's a nice balance between crowd and stage volumes (at least while mick is just talking!).

Sounds great Majesty, check your email. Btw, it sounds like the tape is running a bit slow, we might have to correct that.

He's sending me a copy to torrent. However, I dont have the facility to make speed corrections. Maybe you could take care of that?

Can you explain that in simple terms for the tone deaf and technically illiterate amongst us?

yeah, and there's always the chance that the band was actually playing at different from standard pitch--especially a raw-ish band like the '82 Stones--

On this tape Jagger sounds unnatural low. To go from E to Eflat takes about 6 BPM, which is a great deal.
Majesty, send the CDR to me and I will correct the pitch and load it up as a torrent.

This is technically just impossible. The Stones never ever played different from standard pitch, not even in the earliest days. Tuning up always was against harmonica's, piano's, picth forks and whateve rin the beginning, and strobe tuners from '72 on.

It certainly is possible technically--tuners must be calibrated, and standard pitch is just a convention--but I wasn't saying that they tuned differently on purpose. Instead, such factors as heat--especially in a small venue, though I guess this one wasn't so small--insobriety, and negligence--Stones specialties--could drive the whole band away from "whatever" reference point they started at. But yeah, just adjusting the tape to A=440 is probably the way to go. I just hope you don't use keith's guitar as your reference!
HM, what software are you using to rip the CD-R?

The pitch difference isn't as much as that on this recording, it's more like a quarter pitch below where it should be rather than a half, ie inbetween E and Eb.
I tried burning some copies this evening but I've hit upon a problem, my computer keeps screwing that up! This means I can only send my actual cdr copy which I'm not too keen on.

seems poorly documented
our UK friends should open their vaults. I will check mines but I doubt I have something about Aberdeen

Amazing how this thread started out with a simple question and comes to unearthing a gem. WOW!
