JustDave's Notes:
Recording And Editing Notes:
- Box set came with no cue sheets found very small cue sheet scan on-line.
- All label and box scans from original box and albums.
- Preservation being key the show is encoded complete with voice overs and commercials.
- Commercials and voice overs indexed so they may be omitted if so desired.
- Flat transfer, EQ off, bass & treble set at +/- zero for truest sound of vinyl.
- Some clicks/pops manualy removed, some noise reduction was used.
- All editing done in 24bit/96khz.
Additional Notes:
- Used copies of Greenpeace Rainbow Warriors Compilation CD sell for $0.63 US on Discogs, about 50 copies are available. On Ebay the vinyl averages $50.00 US.
- The compilation consists of previously released material, I could not find chart listings for it.
- Of the 3 artists in the Rainbow Warriors ads, only Bruce Hornsby is featured on the compilation.
- Permanent Vacation has been certified 5x Platinum in the USA and Canada. It was Aerosmith's first Gold Album in The UK.
- There was 5 singles released to varying degrees of success. "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)", "Rag Doll", "Hang Man Jury", "Angel" and "Magic Touch" all got the single nod.
- The Permanent Vacation Tour saw White Lion, Dokken, Extreme and Guns And Roses as opening acts.
- The Permanent Vacation Tour was the first tour Aerosmith did sober. The backstage guests and opening acts were asked not to do drugs or drink in front of the band because of fear they may relapse.
- When Guns And Roses were on the tour, rumor was Aerosmith needed to put in writing Guns And Roses could not drink or do drugs back stage.
- Beer and liquor sales at some venues were cut off during Aerosmith's performances.
Side Notes:
- 2 things that I love about this recording is #1 Tom Hamilton's bass solo on the extended ending of "Same Old Song And Dance". #2 hearing the twin guitar attack of Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on "Lightning Strikes" which only Whitford played on in the studio.
- I'm willing to bet that the Bob Mould Greenpeace Spot is the only air time he ever got on most stations that carried this show.
The latest in my Pre-FM collection. This one was bought for me by Rosebud for Chistmas 2024. I have one more album from that group of LPs she bought then other projects are in the works.
