Length: 77 minutes

Taper: Boldcaptain & Philip
Lineage: Audio - AUD (CSB's + Sony PCM-M1)
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Notes: This is the first source from Boldcaptain and the crew from this set. It really is a fantastic recording, but as it states in the text file that the winds were blowing pretty hard from the mountains which made the sound travel weird. It creates some phasing in the recording. But it still is a great recording for one of the first big concerts since 2000 for NIN.

Taper: JAM & Slickmode
Lineage: Video - AUD (Unknown Canon and Panasonic MiniDV Camcorders)
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Notes: This is some of the most sought after footage that many NIN traders know of. Slickmode and JAM's footage is two of three sources we know of from the Coachella Festival set. There have been snippets posted about 15 years ago of the footage and it looks incredible. Below you can read more about the tapes themselves but I'll go into the quality of them. Although the snippets they shared looked great and of filming the stage, that shortly went away. JAM's video filmed the stage from the beginning to about You Know What You Are? And then films the stage screens for the rest of the performance. Slickmode's footage is covered and just a black screen for more than half of the recording and is just the audio. That is probably why 12 years ago he only shared out the audio from his camera. This footage was riddled with digital scratches/dropouts on the audio and I needed some extra help from Frank on editing this one. He synced BoldCaptain's source 2 audio for this and merged the two videos together to make it a complete performance. I want to thank JAM for trusting me with his master tapes. It was a fun and challenging project and I am humbled at anyone who does video editing in this hobby of ours. Lots of variables that can go wrong and I think I have done the best job anyone could for this footage. You can read about the whole project in the text file.

Taper: Keith M.
Lineage: Audio - AUD (Sony ECM-939LT + Sony TCD-D100)
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Notes: Thank you to JEMs for sending over a bunch of Keith M's recordings of Nine Inch Nails to upload to the archive. I know that many people consider Woodstock 1994 to be the most iconic Nine Inch Nails performance. But personally, I think this is NIN's best performance. It's their first 'big' show since 2000/Trent's sobriety. The energy is caught on these tapes and I think showed that NIN was back! The Coachella valley has a lot of wind going through them. Which is sometimes captured on these tapes. Keith's tape is riddled with some of it throughout. Also the levels fluctuate throughout the tape, which I have tried to normalize. A few screamers around the taper that clip as well. The left channel was higher than the right and I have fixed that on this tape with phase correction. Overall this is an average recording.
