Albert King
Toronto Star Stage
Toronto, ON
25 July 1987

Another tape received in trade more than 20 years ago. Little bit of a mystery: the announcements make it clear the venue is right, but there is already a Toronto gig listed, at a different venue, for the same date. The set list is completely different, too. I can't find anything else that might match it � there is only one other Toronto gig (during his whole career) listed on etree and that's completel;y different as well. so I'm concluding that, given that this one sounds rather like a festival gig, possibly he did another show earlier in the day. If anyone can shed any better light on it I'll happily amend all this.

Sound is very decent if a bit variable. There's a very quick squirt of a radio announcer's voice at the end which suggests it might be a broadcast. About 2 hours long. MP3 sample in comments.

Set list:

Lineage: as best as I can tell, 2nd or 3rd gen tape. Into Magix ACL where Flac files created.
