Journey: 1979-05-09 Denver, CO (FLAC_SB_2 CD)

This is an excellent recording of the second night of Journey playing at Rainbow Theatre in Denver during their 1979 Evolution tour.  I uploaded the first night, 1979-05-08, a day or two ago.  This show seems to be more complete and has 18 tracks being played on this Wednesday night almost 35 years ago.  I've never really seen a lot talked about giving details for either show, but amongst Journey fans who collect and trade live shows, this is another good one!

This show sounds better than the previous day's upload of the 1979-05-08 show.  It has a cleaner and clearer sound (and 1979-05-08 sounds great too).

Here's some important information on my first, primary CD-R copy (this upload) and the EAC process I went through to fix some digital errors in the last six tracks.  I really didn't realize I had errors on these tracks until a few weeks ago when I was doing my EAC rip.  It took EAC 72 hours to rip tracks 13 through 18.  And it seems to have almost completely fixed these errors even though a good ear can catch some in the last track's final seconds.  I'm guessing that when I got my copy from "digital_journey" it was ripped (by unknown program) too fast.  That, or my copy produced these errors over the last 12 to 13 years could be the issue?  I have broken the EAC burn up into two sessions so there are two text files.  First, the no problem tracks which were 1 through 12 were ripped and then the second, 72 hour rip of tracks 13 - 18 were made. Oh yea, and by the way, the error fixed version EAC log shows Peak Levels at 92% to 100% and the lowest Track Quality percentage is 90.4%.  And I used Audacity's "Click Removal" too.  So it's still a great rip and an excellent sounding show.

As I mentioned in my previous 1979-05-08 Denver show upload, these shows have been reportedly labeled as soundboard and soundboard/FM.  I've been told the shows are soundboard recordings, likely from the KEZY FM tapes, even though they were aired live on KEZY FM too at the time of the shows.  I have no way of confirming either claim, but I do believe these are soundboard recordings and not an FM recording made off-air by somebody.  The quality of the sound as well as the source of my information leads me to believe this is correct.  I'd love to find out the facts but do not know if we'll ever get those.

I do have one request today.  If anyone has the silver CD copy of this show, either the U.N.C.L.E. label's version (same as what I'm uploading) or the one or two other label's versions, please check and see if the clicks I talked about fixing are on your silver CD copies too.  The best place to listen for them would be in the last 30 seconds of the recording.  It may be they were on all copies, and if that's the case, then this is definitely an upgrade.

I hope you enjoy your Journey back to 1979 in Denver for the second night's show...
