ROK077 - Roky Erickson - 1977, Keystone, Berkeley, CA - Bootleg DOLP - "You Will Believe In Ghosts - New Tales Of The Weird"

Torrent: ROK077 - Roky Erickson - 1977, Keystone, Berkeley, CA - Bootleg DOLP - "You Will Believe In Ghosts - New Tales Of The Weird"
Description:

RIP Roky Erickson

Refreshed and Renewed! Freshly polished inside and out for 2019 ... and beyond.

Release: ROK077

Roky Erickson and Bleib Alien
1977 (Summer, Monday night)
The Keystone, Berkeley, CA

Cover says live in Austin 1981, Roky Erickson and The Explosives, but this is almost certainly the same performance as ROKCDR022, Roky Erickson and Bleib Alien at the Keystone Berkeley, recorded in 1977. There is not really any doubt about that based on the in between song chatter and amplifier buzz, which though truncated in ROKCDR022, is clearly from the same performance.

Lineage: Rega P3 With Ortofon Tango MovingCoil > Sony HA-T10 > McIntosh C40 Preamp
> Pioneer PDR-555RW Recorder > cut and indexed with CD Wave Editor >
TLH Flac level 6, no need for sector alignment.

Track markers set at the end of the songs as this corresponds with the grooves on the LP, and this is a vinyl rip, right?

Note from ROK077 release:
http://web.archive.org/web/20110405071524/texaspsychedelicrock.com/2008/09/roky-erickson-cd-club-titles.html
"The Aliens [no, Bleib Alien] live in Berkeley, 1977. It's a soundboard. Roky's Manager used to hand these cassettes out for promotional purposes. This has been bootlegged numerous times. You might remember the title You Will Believe In Ghosts. Well... This is taken direct off one of those tapes that was handed out back in the day... Sounds like Bleib Alien (is his backing band)"

When you compare ROK077, this version, with ROKCDR022 (processed and direct sourced from low gen cassette), this version has much more 'bite' than ROKCDR022, which was (in this listener's view) over processed to get rid of amplifier buzz, but ended up removing a lot of the frequencies that give you that 'live' feel, cutting guitars, slicing mids and highs. This version also retains more of the in between song talk and noise of the actual performance than ROKCDR022. In this listener's view, the vinyl bootleg rip sounds much more like the real show would have than the 'cleaned up's ROKCDR022. When I A/B tested them side by side, I quickly realized that this version sounded 'live', and ROKCDR022 sounded muffled and over-processed.

According to 1977-07-29 Berkeley Barb article (PDF included in this release), the Keystone gig was on a Monday, a bit previous to the publishing date, so this show probably is summer of 1977. They list Bleib Alien as his backing band at that time, so no reason to not believe them since they were there at the time.

This is in my view a significant upgrade over ROKCDR022 if you are looking for something closer to the live sound you would have heard at the Keystone Berkeley in 1977. And yes, since you would have heard the amplifier buzz at the show, "[p]ropelled by the bone crushing lead guitar of Aslaksen", this version is much closer I think.
