****************** 

This show comes from taperpat’s 1st Gen. reel copy of this amazing performance! 

Note that there was no 'remastering' done to this recording apart from a 6.9 gain boost, cleaning up the cut from original tape flip and adding beginning and ending fades. There was no re-encoding or compression added. 

There is some light tape crackle in the left channel on tracks 4, 5 and 6 that was on taperpat's original reel. This, to me, does not affect the overall quality of the recording, which again is excellent! 

I personally feel the sound quality is superior to all other complete and incomplete versions of this show out there (I have 5 different copies – 3 from Dime!). It is a nice, warm mix with excellent stereo separation. Neal is on FIRE and the rest of the band ain't too bad, either ;)

Comments from taperpat regarding this version of the tape: 

I can't comment on the band title but can help a bit on the original taper. My version of this show came labeled as Birthday 1/1/73 and I have had it since mid '73 at the latest. Same personnel and set list. The show was taped by Don Amick who made a number of superb audience tapes around that time, mainly in the Pacific NW. He used a Sony TC- 126 with two microphones usually on poles some distance apart. He moved to Hawaii around '75 and I lost track of him.
