Although this recording has it's flaws, I decided I would put it up for any diehard Elvin Jones and Jan Hammer fans out there. There is some hiss and the reel for disc 2 fades in and out throughout the first half of the 36 minute track. I believe this is probably the only source of this particular concert. I was 15 at the time and walked up to Elvin with one of those old monster Wollensak reel-to-reels. I asked him if I could record the concert. Not only did he say OK, but he placed the single mic on the stage between the band! I wish this concert had taken place about a month later because I was finally able to save up enough money with my paper route to buy a Tandberg 64X and 2 Sony mics. Oh well. I did record Elvin off the FM with the Tandberg later that year. That recording was put up by "mr_mags" awhile back.

Any help with the setlist would be greatly appreciated.
