===================================================

The Motown Legends The Funk Brothers performed 4 consecutive nights at the OC Fair.

This is the first show. I have 3 of those performances and they all sound really good.

The taper did a fine job capturing the shows with his little Mini Disc recorder.

These shows were just all around fun to hear and I'm excited that I was able to obtain copies of these.

The only thing I had to do with these were to remove micro gaps at the beginning of each track.

The levels were already perfect and balanced. I just checked the set list and titled the tracks.

I think I have all of the stage members listed correctly, I'm just not sure on a couple last names.

We have 4 of the original Funk Brothers here on stage for these shows.

Along with a varity of additional singers and players, including Joan Osborne.

Currently only Jack Ashford and Eddie Willis are still alive, but Eddie wasn't involved during these OC Fair shows.
