After a short absence, the DS Archives returns with the release of Volume 35, a low gen upgrade to the wonderful November 15, 1980 Houston, Texas show.

I had six different copies of this show to work with and the DS copy was the best of the bunch, it is possibly a 1st gen but DS just wasn't sure if it came directly from the taper so we're just going with low gen. I had a 1st gen to work with as well (the same source missing the last four songs) but this one edged it out with a richer overall sound.

I would not consider this a massive upgrade over the circulating version but IMHO it less flat and overall has a slightly richer and fuller sound. Samples provided as your mileage may vary...

Like a number of versions, this version was missing the first two minutes of "Badlands" but thanks to 'Hobbes4444' sending me his copy I was able to patch the first two minutes. Using iZotope's eqmatch I was able to match this patch very closely to the DS version.

Of course the usual detailed production/mastering that go into all my shares has been processed here, pitch adjusted, channel aligned, de-clicked, extreme audience noises extracted. Other than that, this one took very little actual mastering.

Thanks to DS for allowing us to continue to tap into his archives!

Along with the samples, artwork is provided as well...
