★ April 14, 1970 Ottawa performance decision board!
★ Removes hum noise (low frequency noise). It is extremely easy to hear.
★ Pitch correction (corrected for the first time)
★ Bonus track includes one existing song from the Bloomington performance on April 12th.

Recorded performances in Ottawa, Canada from the North American tour in the spring of 1970!
The sound source itself was first made into a CD around 1994 as one of the nostalgic flying disc 5CD sets.
The sound quality is good enough, but since the recording is not all live songs, about 2 titles such as EV have been released since then, and it is a live with very few releases, so it has been a long time since this time it was made into a CD. ..
There is no big difference in the sound quality of the master Gene itself, and the recorded content is still incomplete, but the point is that low frequency noise (hum noise) is removed quite cleanly on this board. You can enjoy a clear sound without stagnation, with almost no unpleasant and loud hum noise called boon. As for the pitch, the one that was actually quite late in the previous release was adjusted for the first time this time, and this will be the decisive board at present.

As a bonus, it will be the first press CD (probably) with only one song from the Bloomington performance on the 12th, two days before the Ottawa performance.
Only one song “Bring It On Home” is recorded, but it seems that only this one song was originally distributed at this live.
Although it is a valuable first CD sound source, the sound quality is strict. It’s far from the stage and the sound is rough. It’s still listenable to quiet parts, but when it comes to aggressive parts like drums and guitars, it’s so rough that it’s hard to hear, and I wonder if it’s understandable that it hasn’t been made into a CD until now. However, the pitch that was quite crazy in the original data was adjusted fairly accurately, and it is sober but sufficiently valuable that the pitch that was unstable and wavy, especially when it went up and down, was almost no problem.

★1970年4月14日Ottawa公演決定盤!
★ハムノイズ(低周波ノイズ)除去。極めて聞きやすくなっております。
★ピッチ修正(ヨレも初めて修正)
★ボーナストラックに4月12日Bloomington公演より現存する1曲を収録

’70年春の北米ツアーよりカナダ・オタワ公演を収録!
音源自体は’94年頃に懐かしのフライング・ディスク系の5CDセットの中の1枚として初CD化されたものです。
音質的には十分に良好なのですが、収録がライブ全曲でないこともあり、それ以降はEVなど2タイトル程度が出たくらいで、リリースがかなり少ないライブで、今回のCD化は実に久々のこと。
音質的にはマスターのジェネそのものに大きな違いはなく、収録内容的にも相変わらず不完全なものですが、本盤では低周波ノイズ(ハムノイズ)がかなり綺麗に除去されているのがポイントです。ブーンという不快で盛大だったハムノイズがほぼなくなり、よどみのない澄んだサウンドが堪能頂けます。ピッチについても、既発では実はかなり遅かったものが今回初めてアジャストされ、現状これが決定盤となることでしょう。

ボーナスにはオタワ公演から2日前の12日・ブルーミントン公演より1曲のみながら初プレスCD(多分)化。
「Bring It On Home」1曲のみの収録ですが、元々当ライブではこの1曲しか流通していないようです。
貴重な初CD化音源ではありますが、音質的には厳しめ。ステージから遠目のもので、音も粗いもの。静かなパートではまだ聴ける方ですが、ドラムやギターが入るようなアグレッシブなパートになると荒々しさが盛大でかなり聞きづらく、今までCD化されなかったのも納得頂けるかと。もっとも、元のデータではかなり狂っていたピッチもかなり正確にアジャストされ、特に上がったり下がったりと不安定に波打っていたピッチがほぼ問題なくなっているのは地味ながら十分に価値のあるところ。
