Vol. 11 is an unexpected discovery: another official audience recording, which we believe to be previously uncirculated. It captures the first 80+ minutes of the March 15, 1977 Binghamton, NY show which we released from an average audience tape source on Vol. Eight of the series (and which fills out three missing tracks here).
Fast-forward a few decades to last week, when I had a chance to go through a hard drive containing DAT transfers J made over the last few years in an effort preserve those recordings while we still can (turns out DAT is a not a stable medium compared to analog tape and some of our earliest DATs are beginning to become unplayable without noise and errors). One of those transfers was Binghamton from Source Two and when, on a lark, I auditioned it, I realized that it was in fact another official audience recording, and as clear, close and balanced as the best recordings in our series.
Sadly, on Saturday night, October 29, 2016, we lost Jared at the far-too-young age of 60, ending a six-year battle with cancer. He faded out peacefully that night, in his home, surrounded by family and friends.
Jared is a legend in this hobby and he was as good a friend to me and others as he was a taper and collector. For more than 40 years, Jared recorded and preserved literally thousands of live recordings so that we could enjoy them today. His tapes are his legacy. He will be missed by those lucky enough to know him personally and by untold thousands who will listen to the shows he recorded and/or preserved in the years to come.
