Notes about the show:

I want to say this post was in honor of Miki's 46th birthday, which just so happens to be today,
but in reality, the timing was sheer coincidence!

I presume the gig had a few more tracks, but these were the only ones brodcast.

It sounds like she had a bad cold/sore throat as one can hear her clearing her
throat several times.

At the end of De-luxe, Miki intones "I am *not* on drugs, alright.  For God's sake give me a break!"
I recall the 'I am *not* on drugs' bit has been sampled and used on a track at least once.

Notes on how this was recorded:

Wikipedia states:

"Around 1984, JVC added Hi-Fi audio to VHS (in response to Betamax's introduction of Beta Hi-Fi.)
Both VHS Hi-Fi and Betamax Hi-Fi delivered flat full-range frequency response (20 Hz to 20 kHz),
excellent 70 dB signal-to-noise ratio (in consumer space, second only to the compact disc),
dynamic range of 90 dB, and professional audio-grade channel separation (more than 70dB)."

This naturally made it a desirable choice to capture recordings with.

There are some disadvantages, though.

1) VHS tapes are more delicate than cassettes.
2) VHS tapes are larger and less convienent to deal with.

The original VHS tape is in storage, and may or may not play correctly on the replacement SLV-676UC
I bought off eBay a while back, so I transferred this off my cassette safety copy instead.
Given the performance of Hi-Fi audio, it's nearly transparent except for any artefacts like head chatter.

For those of you with spectographs, The Sony VHS is the source for the line that runs at about
16k in this source, apparently.
There were a couple of glitches at both the starts of Covert and at the end of De-luxe and the start of Etheriel which I've repaired...one of these may have

been from the VHS, but the recall the second one was from the broadcast itself...this show may
have been subsequently re-aired w/o these glitches.... anyway, they're pretty minor.

Enjoy!  I have no qualms what's done with this, though this info file should be kept around
in some form or fashion, if you decide to convert it to put it into iTunes or whatnot (not
on DIME of course).  Just don't try to leverage this for material gain.  Cheers!
