David Bromberg solo
06-10-88
Venue: Godfrey Daniel's, Bethlehem,PA

All I knew about this when I started was that it was Bromberg for two sets (early and late) at Godfrey Daniel’s. Oh, and I loved it. I got it in audio years ago, back when I thought audio was the way to go.

According to the record, http://www.davidbromberg.net/dbbase.html, Bromberg played two sets at the Lehigh Valley spot on September 18, 1985, February 6, 1986 and July 13, 1990, as well as a set on June 10, 1988 and with/as the Angel Band December 4, 2005.

The list of performance dates lists those shows that were early and late, as well as those that were solo. There is no indication of either for the June 10, 1988 date, although it turns out (when one looks at the set list) that there were indeed two sets, an early and a late, and that he was playing solo. Sure enough, the set list matches what I hear, and answers some questions about song titles I don’t know off the top of my head.

Show Notes: solo

As for the lineage, I received audio discs in trade years ago. I took those audio discs, ran ‘em through EAC to put them on the hard drive and then used Traders Little Helper to turn ‘em into FLAC files. That’s all I got.


It turns out that this has been on tracker, removed in February 8, 2006 after 132 snatches over 51 days by georgeforman. This is NOT a reseed of his torrent, though, although it is the same show.
