Free Mr. Big Live transcribed

That's Felix in the avatar. He's one of my inspirations and the reason I have an EB1 and a Sunn 2000s. I have a group photo of all my axes on the reboot non reverse bird thread over in the project mods and repairs section. I admire your vegetarian dedication. The world would definitely be a better place if people cut down on their intake of animal products.

Spotted that pic - Uwe may have one of Felix' EB1's but purely because of the instrument and not the provenance...

This is "one" of the Mr Big masters... from the live set - there were about 3 others I found on 2" tape


These are some of the master tapes - the library is stored by a barcode system and is somewhat random, with hefty fire protection and all the other type of stuff you'ld expect...


"Free Live!" is essentially four tapes - one in the image is a duplicate... all on 1" tape

I can read music (from old French Horn and piano days), but my fingers are completely without a clue what to do at this point.  Tab is harder to follow than charts, so I have always gone with my ear.
I shouldn't even mention that the father of my old singer not only has a lot of old master rehearsal tapes from the Funk Brothers, but apparently, also one of the recording consoles out of the original studio.

Strewth...! can you imagine what passed through that console...

That's too cool! I wouldn't last long working there before giving in to temptation. Name's Ari btw.

... and a belated welcome, Ari...
