05. Baby Can I Hold You
06. I Can't Stand The Rain

Why you must have this bootleg:
- This bootleg has a rare cover: I Can't Stand The Rain. Tracy also sings "Love's Proof" (quite rare on this tour)

Notes from the Taper:
QUALITY: Audience recording from front row of balcony (slightly left of centre) - loud clapping & a few coughs & glitches - but otherwise nice sound for a loud show. There are a few mp3 samples I'll post for those DaD'ers who want to separately check them out. This is I think termed a master. Comments on quality welcome (especially any tricks from more experienced tapers)... my reckoning suggests it might be at least a B+ (for those who prefer soundboards) - or A- for those who prefer or can cope with the nuances of a live audience.

LINEAGE: Recorded using MM-MCSM-4 mini cardiod stereo mics w Elite Battery/ Filter Model MM-EBM-1 > Edirol R-09 (new toy!) > SD card > wav (16bit/ 44.1kHz) > Soundforge (cutting out a few "silent" gaps when switching guitars) > CD Wave Editor (v1.93.3 - Track Breaks) > flac (level 5)
The R-09 was left with AGC=on; Low Cut=off; and Mic Gain=low - when seems to give best results. On balance I thought it better to leave in as pristine condition as possible rather than try to smooth applause.
I've left all the talking in - but with longer bits as a separate flac file so you can chose whether to burn or not. The covers only show the tracks numbered. Just learning what works best - so any feedback welcome (after a few $£^&-ups i've learnt to check & re-check connections, batteries, etc - and then check again).
The support show (Ben Taylor) is also included to fill 2nd cd - but you can unclick with u-torrent if you don't want this part.

COMMENTS:
Concert was sold out - thought I'd missed out - but got a late "returned" ticket. Generally loud - but seems to have recorded well (yes - I personally would have preferred more acoustic songs - but its still a nice listen). Felt like guitar player showing off at times - with band in danger of drowning Tracy out. But what a voice she has ... with great lyrics and a caged energy. Appreciative mixed crowd of all ages - with aisles filling with dancers for encores.

Notes from the owner of the tape
I've had this 5 song demo laying about for 20 years. It is labeled 1987 but a source who knows a bit about Tracy Chapman history believes these might have been recorded in 1986 in Medford MA at WMFO studios at Tufts University where Tracy was going to school.
The tape was probably circulated locally in conjunction with a few shows she was doing in Boston at that time. It was before her debut was recorded.
