| Notes | Hello DIMERS, Here is a REAL Treat for all you Jim Croce Fans... This is THE LAST Show Jim performed before his Untimely Death in 1973. This is an Audience recording & Very Good for its time. This recording I obtained many Years ago thru the art of Snail mail , Back in the days before Torrents were born. I believe this is 2nd generation from the master cassette tape . The story goes as thus: This cd contains the final moments of the legendary Jim Croce and his Lead Guitarist, Maury Muehleisen. Only fifeteen minutes after this concert ended, they were both killed when their charted plane crashed during take-off from the Natchitoches, LA airport. The four others aboard the aircraft were also killed and the names are unkown to me. Jim and Maury had just given a great show on the campus of Northwestern State Unversity in Natchitoches, Louisiana. They had been well received by almost 2000 fans. This show was taped on a hand held cassette recorder by 2 young women in the 3rd row. You will find the sound is Pretty amazing for an Audience recording back in the day. Please enjoy a look back at the FINAL performance of an American Legend : JIM CROCE.
