Notes Beyer Mics recorded by Tim Backstrom via Charlie Miller [2007-02-25]After set 1 one of the mic jacks were damaged so the recording in mon for set 2 but the sound field and tonal range is outstanding on this tape especially for this era. This makes it a must listen in my book. Set I
starts off with a rare Cumberland Blues followed by HCS. Other highlights for this era is Wave That Flag (lyrics are better than US Blues IMO). The rest of set 1 and start of set 2 covers many songs in rotation at this time. Set II
jam features a brief Weather Report Suite Prelude into Dark Star-> Eyes Of The World-> Playin' In The Band, The PITB is short and EOTW has the jazzy up tempo style of this era. Dark Star features a variety of style starting quietly but contains some dissonant Tiger meltdown as well. It seems to come across better on teh aud than the sbd but I like auds. It is a common for people to sya that this etlist looks better on paper than it comes across and I sort of agree but the quality of the aud overrides these minor concerns so I still put this on the must hear list.
