Taken from an incomplete video recording. Expect a fair bit of hiss and the occasional glitch.
Since first posting listings for two partial audio recordings, the Library has received another
partial audio recording (taken from the CD "Live! Silver Wilburys" - SWP 82-2) and two identical
video recordings (Thanks, Mike and Robert!). All three audios are extensively edited and include
no material not found the video. The video begins well into a blues number, with which I am not
immediately familiar, and ends rather abruptly immediately after Twist And Shout. The total
running time is just under two hours (roughly an hour and fifty seven minutes. To my eye, the
video appears continuous and unedited.
After comparing the audio recordings with the videos, I am satisfied that they are all taken from
the same (video) source. The giveaway is a simultaneous video and audio glitch about two minutes
into Johnny B. Goode, which shows up on the audios as a rough edit. I'm Your Crosscut Saw and
Bacon Fat also share coincidental video and audio flaws. Interestingly, Olof Bjorner, in his
Chronicle for 1987, indicates that a "Mono PA recording" exists. Presumably the PA recording
would not exhibit the same audio flaws. The Library would be most interested in hearing of such
a PA recording as well as any, more complete, video recordings. Dubbed 07/15/98. 1 x 60 and
1 x 90 min. The video source is also available on 120 minute VHS.
