Re: Holy Grail: Offenburg '73 SB tape

[tangerineman@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

While a board tape of Offenburg may well exist, the person who made the 
post to a.m.l-z almost certainly had a copy of the excellent stereo 
audience source, used for "Custard Pie" (both the original vinyl and the 
initial Cobla CD release). The person who sent the a.m.l-z poster the 
tape probably claimed it was a SB because the aud. tape is that good. 
It's similar to the myth of the 9/29/71 board tape. All existing sources 
of 9/29 are audience tapes.

Besides, I'll take an excellent aud. recording over a SB any day, and I 
don't think I'm alone in that opinion.

There are at least two sources for the Offenburg date; it's a bit 
confusing. Check out TBL for more:

Reviewers seems split on whether Cobla's "Custard Pie" or TDoLZ's "Not 
Warm, It's Hot" is the best available version.
