Santa Monica Civic Center, Santa Monica, CA
Source FM Broadcast KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR
Media flac   2 discs
Notes KMET FM Los Angeles broadcast of a KBFH show.

Includes guest appearences by Joe Walsh and Eagles' members Don Henley & Don Felder. Joe wasn't an Eagle quite yet.
Notes: I originally had both an incomplete 2 disc version of the show and a 1 disc edited version which had the Fools Gold tracks, but neither were of great quality and I did not end up using either one in putting this version together.

I then traded for an improved 2 disc version of the show from Rich Boretz (Richb77@comcast.net) (see his notes) which included a couple of songs my version didn't have like Big Bad John and a much improved 1 disc edited version with some of the original commercials intact from John (cdtraderjohn@aol.com) in Mass. The only problem with the improved 1 disc version was that there were some skips in one of the encores, As The Raven Flies. I used both Rich's version and John's edited version to put this together.

Rich: I was able to remove all problems (gaps, station ID spots,static) in soundforge, then resample so that the speed is now correct. After all that, it really sounds good! I got this with gaps between some songs, and some station ID spots and a few other small glitches. It had also been transferred to CDR without resampling, so it was slow and low pitched.

Lou: The following tracks were pieced together from John's improved edited single disc version of the show. This source had better quality plus the 2 disc version did not have the 2 Fools Gold songs nor the KBFH Intro & Outro. I also used the opening Pioneer and Scotch ads but left out a couple more during the show which were superfluous from the single disc source:

Disc 1: t01,02,03,07,08,15,16 Disc 2: t05,08,10,11,12

Disc 2, track 10, was pieced together from the original source and the single disc source, as the single disc source had some skips but it was of better quality. Both encore songs are now improved.

Some of the track transitions still sort of fade out and then in a bit and I couldn't see a decent fix for these, so I left them alone. This is probably a result of of commercials or the KBFH announcer being edited out at some point.

Volume levels were raised and normalized in Cool Edit.

All in all, I think we now have a much improved version of what I initially received, both of the 2 disc and 1 disc versions.
