ORIGINAL: kitarist quote:
The most odd thing is that who ever engineered it knew what was going on, and they probably did the splice (having both nights on tape) with the original source tapes, BTW, the fact this was spliced so seamlessly seems to be proof that the Friday night was recorded at the right reference pitch, same as Saturday night, i.e. that both sources are at the correct pitch. It is only after this splicing and fixing Al's run was done that the result was sped up a quarter tone (was transferred with the recording tape running slow?). So Al Di Meola has both nights, the original sources at the right pitch, in his 'vault'. That fact plus the extra track Guardian Angels was recorded in a studio, not live, and is also sharp of pitch. Meaning once the record was mixed, the entire album went to MASTER sped up. In the case of other albums this has happened to like kind of blue, also on Columbia, they claim the machine (tape reel to reel) ran slow going to master…hence a normal machine (record player) plays that music on vinyl or whatever, faster than recorded. The CD came out of Kind of Blue explained this and they corrected the new master from the source tapes, and part of the same master series I assumed Friday Night would have been the same deal but they didn’t have the source tapes obviously (cutting room floor). Who knows, maybe they tried and realized all the editing going on and gave up?
