Notes Excellent Recording, Mixing Desk or Audience, you decide !

NOTE: Because of the interest in my original upload of this show and the questions regarding the source I decided to contact 'GS' who originally sent me the copy of his tape. I ask where he got it and he said it was "ACQUIRED" from a contact, working at Glastonbury, about two hours after Morrison came off stage, he asked no questions. As to why he marked it FM he said that the tape was not in a case and was unmarked and later when he got round to listing it he had only listened to a track or so and it seemed to be FM though he now agrees it could be Mixing Desk or Excellent audience. Anyhow he very kindly agreed to loan me the Master and that tranfer is what you have now.

Personally I don't care what the source is, it's just nice to have a complete, from one source, recording of a great show. There is some very slight sound drift on the tape which I believe is due to it not having been played (he used his back-up copy to listen to) or fully re-wound for many years.

This transfer is a big improvement over the previous, analogue tape copies tended to lose quite a bit of detail even on top quality decks, and anyone with a SERIOUS interest in Morrison I think will be well pleased.
