| Notes | This is my digitalization of a bootleg LP I've had for almost 30 years. I always wondered about the location of the recording, as the LP came in a blank sleeve with no cover or other information. Finally, someone was able to recognize and identify the venue and date from Ian's introduction to Thick as a Brick: "Well, I think we'll start you with a song from, uh... well, from what, yeah? This is a song which has been the subject of a recent gramophone recording that we made... It's a piece called, uh... and it may be a bit meaningless unless you understand the English idiomatic, but it is, nevertheless, and will remain: Thick as a Brick." I spent much time and effort to de-click this as well as possible without negatively impacting the sound. I didn't do any other noise reduction. There were a few tape speed fluctuations on the LP. I corrected a couple of the more grotesque ones, but there are still a few dips here and there. There's no disguising that this is from a well-played vinyl source, but I think it sounds very good. I love the sound and performance here. All instruments are clear and balanced. Martin's guitar is especially well represented. His extended solo in the "Poet and the Painter" section of TaaB is one of my all-time favorites. I think there may have been a second volume to this recording. I remember hearing many years ago a version of "A New Day Yesterday" that sounded, recording quality-wise, like it was from the same session. And I feel like the second of Taab must have been recorded, since the latter part of the show is represented here. If anyone has that, I hope they will share it here. I'd love to have the whole show.
