Taper's Comments:

1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:

This show comes from a great but short lived series that ran on ABC-TV circa 1973-75.
Since this is way before stereo TV, you could watch the visual portion on TV, and they
would simulcast on certain FM stations the stereo sound. While the sound and mixes are
primitive by today's standards, they weren't too bad for the times. I'm happy to have
what I have, and pissed that I missed a lot of them too. I think the show was broadcast
on Friday nights, but I could be wrong on that.

Here's the legendary B.B. King, who's still out there performing today in his 80's, but at a
much, much slower pace. If anybody can provide the correct titles for Tracks 2 & 4,
backing musicians, as well as the exact date and venue for this performance, please
do so in the comments section. Enjoy!
