| Notes: | first seeded in 2008, reseeded in 2010 with a flac > wav > flac (sb's aligned) reconversion to remove the sbe's (and track times). A couple of songs cut in at the beginning and are missing a couple of seconds, but it's close to a complete recording. Do not sell this recording. Trade freely, losslessly, and gaplessly. Comments: This is 1 full night, 1 of 3 with this group for this run at Paul's Mall just when Al has released his eventual 1977 Downbeat Reader's Poll choice for Album of the Year, "Elegant Gypsy". (also a huge hit for Guitar Player magazine readers). These sets both include a very hefty dose of that, pretty similar setlist for each show (seperate admissions). It was recorded on one of the little Sony recorders, in stereo, not alot of seperation but it's up close and personal, you can hear all instruments well and the versions are nicely extended and jammed. I met Al at one of these shows, he actually let me record his show but the Paul's Mall staff said I couldn't. I got this tape in trade a few years later which is probably better than what I would have had so all worked out good there. I have heard rumors of a 1976 Al DiMeola FM broadcast from Boston, (over WCOZ radio) of his 1st solo tour (Land of the Midnight Sun) after R.T.F. but never heard it. This is his second solo tour, but the one that made Al DiMeola famous as a solo artist. There is a Toronto FM broadcast of this great tour but I have not heard about one from Boston during this run of shows (WBCN would broadcast a set from either Paul's Mall or Jazz Workshop, usually every Thursday I think, in the early 70's, maybe it varied some..). I think this is the night I saw, I know on 4/22 I couldn't because Weather Report was playing down the street at the Berklee P.C. I think any fan of Al would be happy to hear this couple of sets. Don't know if Stu Goldberg was in this whole tour but he is in all of both these shows. In the second show, they sound like they're going into Midnight Tango (for a second time in the show, just 1 reason I don't generally like 2 show gigs, when the band only knows one set's worth of songs, but this one was a goodie.) but then go into the Dark Eye Tango, which wasn't recorded yet. Al's got so many tangos it's no wonder even he can confuse them sometimes. It's almost 2 full CD's of some fine playing by Al just when he was hitting his peak (if like I you prefer your Al D. electric!) There is some acoustic playing here too but the highlights are (for me), the Wizard, Race with the Devil and Elegant Gypsy suite. The Flight over Rio encore will get the blood flowing pretty good too. Thanks to Peter P for the recording. He did a nice job of it. This recording has seen some circulation on tape, maybe with tracks out of order. | |||||
