2002.08.09 - Richmond, VA, USA @ Richmond Coliseum

Source A: DAT --- Core Sound Cardioids >  Sony PCM-M1
Taper:      Travis
DAT:        DAT-M > Digital Clone-1
CD:          1st from Master

Notes: If you want to trade, contact taper: deepcreatures@yahoo.com. Really nice recording. Levels of the taper's equipment are virtually perfect & the band seems to be in top form. Maynard's voice is in very good form as well. This is an exceptional capture of what Tool truly sounds like as a live band. Although nto the most riveting part of the Lateralus-era touring, this recording is most likely the best source out there for this performance. For those that really enjoy the crisp, clean and in-your-face sound of cardioids, this may be enough motivation to buy yourself a pair of cardioids. There are some instances when the crowd is quasi-obnoxious but this is common in so many recordings it is not even really fair to mention here. All in all, good recording of a good performance.

Source B: This is not "unknown Mini Disc"
Source B: This is not CSC>M1Travis source

Notes: Whew. This recording has had a lot, I mean a kit if confusion associated with it. This has been known as "unknown mini disc" & has traveled around in various SHN rips & on people's collections. This recording is very clear, concise & crisp. No one seems to have a clear indication of what, precisely, the source information is for this recording that is 100% verified. That is the truth. The sound has much more dynamics than a simple MD recording &, as a thought, this is potentially SPSC>M1 but we do not know for sure. . This is by no means the unknown MD recording some have listed. Specific source information is needed before analysis can be done further. And that depends on you...

Maynardism: "Richmond. Are you sure? Sounds more like Huntington Beach, West Virginia. So, is it Richmond or not? That's what I thought. See if this one fits..."
