Don Pullen & Hamiet Bluiett live at DC Space, October 27, 1984, from the master cassettes.

Audience: Both sets were recorded from the second row of tables, right, with a Sony Walkman Pro and a one-point stereo Akai microphone on high bias Fuji FR-II 90 minute cassettes. The first set consisted of four pieces, while the second set consisted of Decisions, Ebu (which contains a tape flip), an unknown title, Over the Clouds, a piano solo (whose beginning is clipped by a tape flip), and Big Alice.

FM: A different recording of the second set was made by the local Pacifica station, WPFW-FM. The recording was broadcast on November 2, 1987 and was recorded from the air on an Akai stereo cassette deck on a Maxell XLII 90 minute cassette. For some reason, WPFW superimposed public service announcements over the last two pieces. The first announcement (over the piano solo) was fairly brief but the second (about a minute or so into Big Alice) lasted more than four minutes. The second public service announcement has been indexed seperately and may be omitted when burning to CDR, leaving in its place a tape flip-like edit. Big Alice also contains a second edit, much closer to its end, due to a tape flip.
