Man 1975 on Wolfgang's Vault

[Martin Daughton]

Interestingly Cippo always maintained his SG was a 1959. Clearly a mistake as they didn't make them until 1961.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Frank Marino almost exclusively played a 1961 SG; something about the specific wood...

Mp3 is a lossy format. In order to compress the music data into mp3 format, during the encoding process it throws data away. How much depends on the bit rate that you choose to encode to mp3 at. In any case, when you convert back from mp3 to wav, the data in the resulting file is different, and poorer quality.

Lossless formats (flac, shn, ape etc) compress the music data, but do not throw any information away. You can convert the compressed music file back to a wav file, and it will be identical to how it used to be. Codecs (software plug ins) are available to play these compressed files directly in music players e.g. dbPowerAmp, Winamp and even Windows Media Player (mostly). Flac is by far and away the most common on Dime.

@ Rob: The Gordon Smith SG - what a fantastic guitar! The guitarist in my last band played one. Weighing slightly more than the original, I thought ...
Being a poor guitarist, I play a tele 

@Ron: You mentioned the Electric Guitarslinger video on Cipollina that was sold out. Do you know why it takes Steve Keyser so long to get the Recoil dvd ready?

Back to Man

Now only if the video was available.  I was at this show.  As well as the audio, the concerts were also "filmed".   

Back in the 90's I was set to go and watch the recording of Man from the night that Peter Frampton closed for Man, but things fell through and it never happened.  That would have been fun.

All the guitarists I know say a Gibson neck is easier to play than a Fender so you must be better than you think o humble one...

[John Bannon]

Martin, Don't put yourself down, you managed to get my EKO twelve string in tune after many years of abuse by myself, was surprised by your dexterity up and down it's fretboard. John B.

[Martin Daughton]

Hi John
Kind of you to say so 
However, I wasn't puting myself down - I was bigging up Rob t'Organ...

Now I'll go and dig out my Ovation Legend. Now that has a fast neck.

It was broadcast on cable. I saw it played between bands at a later Winterland gig too.

Rob,

 Actually half of the "studio" side of Anthem is live.  I believe Crypicial Envelopement, Quadlibet for Tenderfeet, The Faster We Go the Rounder We Get and Born Cross-Eyed all contain live segments.  I won't listen to Anthem for years, and then it winds up on my turntable for a couple of weks.  Happy Trails is like that too, however I did buy it on CD.

I think we seriously jumped somebody's thread.  Sorry.

Ron S.,

 What are the chances of the video ever surfacing?  On the East Coast,  I missed my only chance to see Man in the '70's
