Notes: This show had a few "issues" that should not diminish your listening experience too much:
1. The stage guitar monitors were intermittent at the beginning of the show, forcing Gene Clark to stop in the middle of the first song before resuming.
2. The master had an occasional channel dropout caused by a bad microphone cable that forced Gene Clark's solo songs to be dual-mono for this transfer. You can hear the sound go to stereo after that and a few other brief channel problems were fixed seamlessly.
3. There was a friendly but persistent cocktail waitress who hassled two times that can be heard during the recording. In the last song of the first set you can hear in the background as she is somehow convinced to lay off after being told that the deck is stopped. The second time during "He Was A Friend of Mine" is more obvious as she can be heard asking to "see the switch". A few seconds of music are lost while she is shown that the deck is stopped. Despite this brief interruption, I must thank her for letting me get away with this one!

Otherwise this is the complete show and is a very good recording.

Enjoy and SHARE!
