Total Time ::: 1:13:30
::: QUITE fine AUD for it's vintage. Check samples for toenail curling potential or a few beautiful, blissful bytes.
::: Warts: Taper shut off deck 'tween some trax. Mike bump still audible in #1 at end. Taper volume adjustments -mostly fixed- calm down after 1st 2 trax. Fixed dropouts & tape stretch jittery noises at end of #4 but ~2 seconds remain. 1 second bass/volume overload distortion in #5 & #10. #6 has a few split second (glass?) bumps (now reduced). #7 second late start & slight speed fluctuation in last minute (batteries?). #8 has some tapebleed overlay (on all circulating copies) & cuts right at end. #9 starts late from tapeflip. Surely missed some dullspots & dropouts but healed/lessened most all of them.
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: Significant upgrade over these versions, Silver Horse, ECDR'Noiseless Lyceum', PHR, my old cassette, unknown trade CDR, 1or2 others the reel was compared to.
::: COMPARISON CLAUSE: MAJOR quality upgrade over Torrent #476558 ECDR version @ http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=476558 (that one cuts off around 8000kHz; whereas this one is up over 20,000kHz). Comparison sample in comments.
::: NOTE: NOT a raw tape transfer but carefully remastered (~15 hours work) without EQ, fixing 100s of blemishes, volume issues, etc. (notes below).
::: Brett Marvin & The Thunderbolts opened (info courtesy of DIMER gv0000).
::: The Lyceum Theatre was known as the Lyceum Ballroom during this era (from 1951 until... ?).
::: Too bad "Little Wing" is somewhat screwed up here as it's the first live one around after Hendrix's death on 1970-09-18.
Recording Information ::: unknown mono recording equipment -> master mono tape (reel?) -> ? (analog only) -> low generation reel.
Playback (20??) ::: low generation reel -> unknown digital transfer method -> 44.1kHz wavs.

First uploaded week of 2014-03-07.
Line-up ::: Eric Clapton - electric guitar, vocals // Bobby Whitlock - organ, vocals // Carl Radle - electric bass // Jim Gordon - drums.
Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.
DimeTravel 022 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! Mega thanks for The Florida Kid for the excellent reel source. Thanks to DIMER gv0000 for his research assist. ::: Corrections welcome ::: This should change the game for what most everyone has ever heard of this recording (or heard about it). While it ain't audiophile, it is, in my opinion, extremely enjoyable (FINALLY!). The distractions has been greatly reduced & it has punch & dynamic range seriously missing on other copies I compared it to. Clapton is SUPERB form. Whitlock is, once again, tapped into the source - what an incredible talent. In parts of "Tell The Truth" he literally explodes out of the song into the forefront. The Dominos heavier jamming mode is starting to creep in hard. It's obvious right from the opening that times have changed from the August performances. Too bad we don't have other shows from the UK in Sept. & Oct. More recordings MUST be out there. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
