Tech Notes I got this as an shn set from a trading buddy. It came with no source info, just a track listing. The recording sounded very very good already. The extreamly low level of hiss makes my think this was recorded on a Reel to Reel. I'm not sure if this was recorded off the radio or pre-FM. I'm leaning towards a pre-FM KSAN vault leak because of the excellent sonic quality. However, that's just a guess.

Remastering notes:
The only thing I really did was tame some of the audience applause and Jimmy's banter. This was recorded with an extreme amount of audience able to be heard in the small club. It sounds as if they mic'ed the crowd to get the comments between songs. They boosted up Jimmy?s voice levels and turned the audience mic on and off as Jimmy finished and started songs. The difference was quite noticeable in places. The songs were actually softer in volume then the banter. The banter and applause were so loud in parts it hurt my ears after jamming to the songs at high volume. I had to keep lowering the volume between songs and turn it back up during the songs. The contrast was quite offensive. I tamed the applause and banter sections and boosted the gain on some of the songs at the beginning to make it more even and more pleasurable to listen to without constantly needing to change the volume. Towards the end the songs got louder, so I only boosted the first few songs. But the banter and applause were offensively loud throughout.
