Notes

Master Audience reel-to-reel

Ashton Park, Stop, and You're Gonna Need Me are played as a medley, and Funk #49 is almost unrecognizable as a long jam.

A note about channel balancing: This concert was recorded with two microphones taped to a broomstick. How they got that along with a not-so-small recorder into the Swing in California (hot weather - no jackets or coats!) during the month of August is beyond me. There were two people to make the recording: one to hold the broomstick, one to operate the recorder. The one holding the broomstick didn't always pay attention and the broomstick got rotated during the show - thus the up-and-down levels and changes in clarity. There is a major jump in sound (for a while) after the tape is flipped or shut off after the first 25 minutes.
